Microclover Seeds (Trifolium repens)

Microclover Seeds (Trifolium repens var. pipolina) - This is our shortest clover crop. This variety is an outstanding and a durable alternative to traditional lawns. It has naturally dense growth and not only fixes nitrogen but is a great weed suppressor. Deep green and uniform foliage. It is cold hardy and tolerates both full sun and shade. It also tolerates wet and dry soil, foot traffic and requires little mowing or no mowing if you wish a more natural look. If you don’t mow, it only reaches about 3-6 inches. A mowing or two seasonally will keep it shorter and lush. It is also a great clay busting plant. Pre-inoculated. Early Spring and early Fall are great times to plant. Keep it moist while it establishes.

Light Requirement: Sun to Shade

Life Cycle: Perennial Up to 3-6 inches

Planting Instructions: When to Sow this Mixture: Spring and Early or Late Summer is the best time to seed. Avoid seeding the hotter parts of the summer or extremely hot days. How to Sow: Remove all existing growth and sow evenly over the area. We suggest compressing for a good seed to soil contact without pushing the seeds beneath the soil. Keep watered and moist until the seedlings are about 4 inches high and then watering can be reduced. How to Maintain: Clover does not need fertilizer. Clover acts as a green fertilizer if trimmed and is a great for aeration as the roots work into the soil. It is also a great nitrogen booster. Mow once in mid-summer and once about 4-6 weeks before the first fall frost. Do not use herbicides. Purchase a bit extra seed of this mix to fill in any sparse areas that may occur.
