Product Description

Designates a strain of white clover which that is perennial. Used in lawns, used for a ground cover, erosion control, cover crop, and in pasture mixtures. Usually matures between 4 to 8 inches. Many homeowners include White Dutch clover in their lawn seed mixture because clover sprouts fast and grows so dependably that it's a valuable aid in getting a new lawn started. Nodules on the roots fix nitrogen from the air. Actually, up to 1/3 the nitrogen your lawn needs can be obtained from white dutch clover! Grows vigorously even in poor clay subsoil around new home construction. If you want all the benefits of a cover crop but don't want to till early or mow, clover is your best bet. Sow from March - October in most areas of the U.S. at 1/4 lb. per 1,000 sq. ft. Just scatter the seeds, rake lightly, and keep the seed moist until it sprouts -- you're done! Withstands drought, grows well all over the U.S., even on barren soil where nothing else wants to grow. Winter hardy and it stays so low you can just till it under in spring if you are using it for a cover crop. Seeding Rate: 1/4 lb per 1000 square feet or 6 to 8 lbs per acre.

Clover, clover everywhere!
I ordered and spread this seed last year and will again this year to supplement my 1/3 acre grass lawn and small field area.

Last year I spread the seed late in the season and was a bit concerned that it wouldn't take very well or at all. However, while working my lawn and field this year I've found small to medium sized patches of clover in areas where there was no clover before. I'm seeding with clover again this year to really get the clover going but I'm confident that even if I didn't seed again, the clover would continue to spread on its own.

If you're looking at clover seed than you may already know this but clover is beneficial to lawns because clover is a nitrogen fixing plant. In other words, clover can naturally provide the nitrogen lawns need to be healthy, directly to the soil, without the use of fertilizers or chemicals. The problem is that clover is killed by weedkillers along with dandelions and other broad leafed weeds.

For my lawn I'm planting clover to supplement the grass, I've stopped fertilizing and I now only use a spot weedkiller directly on weeds as opposed to dousing the entire lawn.
