2 lb. Perennial White Miniclover Dwarf, Small Leaved, Lawn Clover & Ground Cover Seeds

Used these on my lawn where grass had a hard time growing. Got a lush layer of clover now. They don't stay too short unless you trim them regularly. Be careful not to mow them too short. I made that mistake my first year growing these. If you mow too short the plant cant recover and it dies out. The clover grows pretty easily. I just sprinkled around the lawn before a few days of rain and that's all it took. After it's established it doesn't need to be watered regularly. While some of my neighbors grass lawns are yellowing, my clover is as green as ever.

I have just ordered another large bag of these seeds, I am that impressed by them. I have a new construction home that comes with some yard challenges. A large part is fully shaded, then a large partial shade area, and a small bit of full sun. It's not the easiest or greateat soil, it is slopped heavy in parts as well. While some of the year is fairly wet, summer tends towards some dry spells. We needed something that could tolerate the variety of situations with the sun, was tolerant to both a lot of moisture and drought resistant, and if some soil retention was included that was even better. Something that would cover well and quickly, look good, and not require a ton of upkeep once established. Mini clover seemed to fit the best with all out needs. I did some research and decided to give Outsidepride a chance. My first purchase was a small 1lb bag. I waited until we were expected sevwral days of rainfall, then basically tossed the seed out over a bare, fully shaded, steep slope. Within a couoke days the first green specks had appeared, and a LOT of them. By the end of the week the ground was a beautiful lush green. So I bought a 5lb bag from them. Again, spread it just before several days of rain was expected. Same results, tons of green specks within a couple days, and now there is an absolute ton of baby clover everywhere I spread it. A good blanket of it, not patchy, not clumpy, beautifully spread. The first batch I spread now has the first little flowers. That bank went from looking bare, harsh, and gloomy to looking soft and lucious even though it is shaded all the time. So I just ordered my second 5lb bag, since we're expecting rain again. This stuff comes up so fast, the germination rate is wonderful, and I will be using Outsidepride for other seed purchases in the future as well.

JULY 2019 UPDATE: We haven’t watered or put any chemicals on our lawn! I have uploaded a picture showing our clover mix lawn and what a pretty shade of green it is compared to the neighbors grass lawn. We still need to mow once a week, but now there are hardly any clover flowers. The grass still dies when the dogs pee on it, but the clover does not. I’m super curious to see what happens during the dryer months of the summer when the lawns all turn brown. I just moved my star rating from four to five stars. This really is one of the best decisions that we have ever made. I will update again during the drought months. JUNE 2019 Update: We LOVE our lawn! Yes, we are getting little white flowers, but we can mow them away. As of right now, we have not yet trained it to stay short. We are mowing as often as a regular lawn. BUT, the dog pee doesn’t kill this. The dog pee still kills the grass. We haven’t watered it once yet. We have little to NO other weeds. But that being said, I bought a weeding tool in early spring and hand popped out all the dandelions, crab/Johnson grass and broad leaf weeds, they haven’t come back. I will update again during the drought months. UPDATE March 9, 2019. The third picture you see is our lawn now. We are very happy with our decision to go green and stop pouring chemicals on our lawn. I must say that our lawn is way greener than any of our neighbors lawns. We bought another bag, but haven’t put it down yet. We are going to use it in a few spots that were missed last year. My husband told me to buy it before they ran out, so I did. So far we are just using this in our backyard where our puppies play and go potty. I will keep updating. I’m waiting for the summer drought before moving it up to five stars, but as of now I’m completely happy. We spent $3,000 for sod last May that all died despite a $400 water bill. Since we have two new puppies, we decided not to treat it with chemicals. Our last dog died of cancer at age six, so we refuse to put down chemical fertilizers. Then my husband told me about clover and I said, “absolutely not!” He asked me to just read the article and then think about it. After reading it, I agreed it would be the best way to have a green lawn and still be healthy for our puppies and the environment. In September we planted one five pound bag along of clover with two 40 pound bags of grass seed in our back yard which is about 75 wide by 75 deep and covered it with some tacky straw. The grass came up right away, but petered out. The clover started coming up within five days, but stayed small and sparse for about six weeks. Now it’s November and we have had a couple of freezes and it’s a pretty green. The neighbors lawns have all started to die off, as well as the field behind us. I will post pictures of the color difference. I look forward to seeing what will happen this winter and next spring as well as the summer drought. I will keep this updated, mainly because the older I get the less I remember, so I will be able to look back on this and know whether or not to buy some more. The first picture shows our lawn up close with zero chemicals and the neighbors lawn on the other side of the fence with his “professional “ lawn care. The second picture shows the field behind us has all died off. This past summer, our new sod was as brown as that field. What you see in our lawn is 95 percent clover and very little grass. In fact, the brown you see is the grass. FOR REFERENCE: We live in upper middle Tennessee where the “soil” is mostly red clay.

I stripped all my grass off the front lawn and planted this brand of white clover last summer. This year I haven't cut the lawn or clover not once it is drought tolerant and great for the pollinators and no more annoying nats flying around or landing on my entrance way into the house. What a great idea from the fifties from before A grass lawn was a thing. Best part is this stuff makes it's own nitrogen at the root all you need is add Potassium and phosphorus. The clover grows to 8 inches and is green while the neighbours water every few days and i haven't watered once my hose is still in the shed this clover is the best lawn I ever had.

We are very disappointed with these seeds. We used these to reseed our entire backyard from scratch. We were impressed to see them take very quickly and without too much effort. By the end of last summer it was fully taken but not enough to gain height before winter. However, it has become quite clear this year that we did not get the microclover seeds we paid for. The clover we got is so tall we have to mow it once a week so that our youngest can play outside without tripping on it. Otherwise it grows up to their knees very quickly. We bought it for a lower maintenance option for the kids to play. Definitely false advertising on that front.
