I decided to plant the mini clover and the yard looks better than it has in years. Between them they practically destroyed the yard. I have 5 large dogs and we had a bad winter. If needed again in the coming Spring I will not hesitate to get more. and my Village DPW has banned lawn watering so all it gets is what I carry in a water-sprinkler can. The mini-clover seed germinated in three to five days and has hung in there despite the ground being on the dry side of dessicated, not ideal moisture conditions at all. I dont remember when I first heard about Outside Pride, but it has been a family tradition to get wildflower seed mixes from them every year so when I needed to reseed part of my lawn and decided to go with clover this time, Outside Pride caught my eye. Great clover! grew really fast between my stepping stones.only regret is I should have bought more seed because they are out of it now. The white microclover lawn is very dense, very lush, and very beautiful. In other words, you can almost "train" its growing height with infrequent mowings. For example, if you mow it at a height of 3 inches, it will head back out and quit growing at a height of approximately 4 inches. If you mow it, it will want to quit growing just slightly taller than the height it was mowed at. If the clover lawn is never mowed, it will get approximately 6 inches tall. When it is mowed, new leaf heads form within a few days so it continually looks thick and lush. When Miniclover® or micro clover lawns are not mowed at all, the leaf size will be about 1/2 the size of White Dutch Clover. If Miniclover® is not cut then the leaf size increases, the more it is cut then the smaller the leaf size. Add it to your existing lawn to improve overall lawn health or use as a complete lawn alternative. If you're interested in cheap, low-maintenance lawn alternatives to grass, Miniclover® is the perfect solution and is easy to plant from bulk clover seeds. It has longer roots, enabling it to access water at deeper levels than most lawn grasses. White clover tolerates compacted soil better than lawn grass does. White clover can also help aerate the soil, thus reducing concerns over soil compaction. The type of shade normally occurring in parks and on golf courses is not a problem for Miniclover® or other dwarf, low growing, microclovers. However, it can only tolerate wet conditions as long as the area is not flooded for long periods. It tolerates wet and partially shady conditions, as well as drought. Miniclover® is adapted to a wide range of climatic and soil conditions. Miniclover® is evenly distributes itself in lawns therefore, it doesn't have the patchy and weedy appearance as seen with ordinary white clover. It does well in partially shaded areas that receive at least some direct sunshine during a day. Miniclover® and microclovers have such tiny leaves when mowed and short stems, that from a distance it blends in very nicely in to the appearance of your lawn. Other white clovers looks considerably different to turf grass as the leaf blades are twice the size and may stand out like a sore thumb. Miniclover will flower once a year in the summer for about 1 month if it is not mowed. Miniclover is very low maintenance and it helps to carry this characteristic to what ever it may be planted with. For many, this is an optimal height and thus will not need to be mowed from then on! Even better, after the first few mowings, your Miniclover will be trained to only grow to a height of ~3 inches. Miniclover reaches a mature height of only 4 - 6 inches. Miniclover permanently fertilizes the sward, thus increasing its wear tolerance. In the opinion of many turf managers, the wear tolerance of turf containing Miniclover® is superior to traditional lawn grasses. Of course, all at no cost to you, in terms either of money or of maintenance., and so there is no risk of leaching, nor is there a risk of fertilizer burning in the field. The nitrogen is therefore available when and where it is needed. The nitrogen continues to be released into the soil during the growing season until the first night frosts occur. Mixed with grasses, Miniclover® grows around the grass plants and feeds your grass nitrogen for you. Waste less! The cost of either adding Miniclover to an existing lawn seed mix or replacing a lawn completely is typically recovered during the first year. Requires less fertilizer and less water than traditional grass.
