A variety which has shown to have better persistence than most other red clovers under high grazing pressure. A very good variety with better winter production but maintains high productivity in high temperatures. Colenso has performed exceptionally well in all potato growing areas of Victoria as a red clover component in a pasture mix for prime lamb production.
