White Clover Cover Crop

Trifolium repens

Certified Organic

A Nutrition-Builder with Countless Uses

Low-growing White Clover is a trooper. Use it to establish patches of lawn or green paths that do not spread aggressively into neighboring garden beds and do not require much mowing. It holds up to plenty of traffic, but note that it is not as resilient to heavy use as grass. But, unlike grass, it is a nitrogen-fixing workhorse, helping to create nutrition that is accessible to plants growing in beds along path and lawn edges.

Sow nearly anytime, but spring and late summer are best.

Garden Pack: 2 ounces, sows roughly 125 square feet

Homestead Pack: ¼ pound, sows roughly 300 square feet

Farm Pack: 1 pound, sows roughly 2,000 square feet

Growing instructions
Sow anytime of year by broadcasting shallowly into prepared bare soil. Rake in gently and keep watered until emergence. Do not fertilize heavily; white clover is a rugged plant that prefers moderate soils and fixes its own nitrogen. Allow plants to reach 6 inches in height before permitting moderate foot traffic.

    Planted last September in bare spots on lawn that were caused by summer drought and construction. I wasn't sure the tiny plants would survive the winter but they came through great and are now slowly spreading. I've planted more above a French drain where grass won't grow. They blend nicely into the lawn and require minimal maintenance. I am considering eventually having a mow-free all-clover lawn with crimson clover highlights.
