White Dutch Clover (Trifolium repens) is a low-growing, perennial legume that offers a sustainable, cost-effective, and visually appealing alternative to traditional lawns. Increasingly popular in eco-conscious landscaping, White Dutch Clover can be seeded alone or mixed with turfgrass to create a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant lawn—ideal for shady spots, poor soils, and areas with water restrictions.

• Fertilizer-Free: Naturally fixes nitrogen from the air, enriching surrounding grasses and eliminating the need for synthetic fertilizers
• Water-Wise: Tolerates moderate drought when mixed with grass; deeper roots help access water unavailable to traditional turf species
• Early Green-Up: Greens up in early spring and often stays green through winter in milder climates
• Minimal Mowing: Grows 2–8″ tall and requires only occasional mowing to manage blooms or neaten appearance
• Weed-Suppressing: Forms dense, ground-hugging cover that outcompetes most weeds after establishment

White Dutch Clover is perfect for mixed-use lawns where homeowners want low-input greenery with excellent soil coverage and soft texture. It thrives in compacted, low-quality soils and is unaffected by dog urine, making it especially pet-friendly. Whether used in full sun or partial shade, this clover brings beauty, biodiversity, and utility to your landscape.

Directions

Seeding Rate:
• 1–2 lb per 1,000 sq. ft. when overseeding into grass
• 2–4 lb per 1,000 sq. ft. for pure clover lawns

Planting Time:
• Spring or early fall when soil temps are 50–75 °F

Soil Requirements:
• Grows in a wide range of soil types, including compacted and poor-draining soils
• pH range: 6.0–7.5 preferred, but highly adaptable

Ideal For

• Low-maintenance, eco-friendly lawns
• Water-restricted or drought-prone regions
• Pollinator-friendly landscapes
• Pet-friendly lawns and shady yard areas
• Poor or compacted soil where turf struggles

Whether you choose a pure clover lawn or a mixed grass-clover blend, White Dutch Clover offers a lush, soft, and sustainable alternative to traditional lawns. It reduces fertilizer and watering needs, resists weeds naturally, and creates a vibrant habitat for pollinators—all while staying green through much of the year.

Additional Notes

• Best for low to moderate foot traffic; consider mixing with grass for durability
• Can stain clothing more than traditional turfgrass
• Blooms attract bees—frequent mowing during bloom season can reduce bee activity in high-traffic areas

Sheep fescue (Festuca ovina) is a fine-textured, cool-season perennial bunchgrass prized for its tufted, low-growing habit and outstanding drought tolerance. Native to Europe and well-adapted to North American climates, this grass forms dense, blue-green clumps just 6–12 inches tall—making it ideal for wildflower meadows, ornamental gardens, and no-mow lawns.

• Meadow-Style Aesthetic: Creates a soft, rolling “blanket” of blue-green foliage for a naturalistic look
• Low-Input & Drought Tolerant: Thrives on as little as 12–15″ of rainfall annually; minimal irrigation, mowing, or fertilization required
• Weed Suppression & Erosion Control: Dense fibrous roots bind soil and outcompete weeds—perfect for slopes and roadside plantings
• Disease & Pest Resistance: Naturally resists brown patch, dollar spot, and insect pests
• Versatile Landscape Uses: Performs beautifully in xeriscapes, meadows, and as a low-maintenance turf alternative

Sheep fescue is especially valuable for ecological landscapes and pollinator-friendly designs. Its fine, clumping form allows wildflowers to emerge freely and helps stabilize soil in sensitive or sloped environments. Whether used as a “no-mow” groundcover or to complement ornamental plantings, it combines visual softness with rugged performance.

Directions

Seeding Rate:
• 4–6 lb per 1,000 sq. ft. (pure stand)
• 2–3 lb per 1,000 sq. ft. when mixed with wildflowers or other grasses

Planting Time:
• Early spring or early fall, when soil temperatures are between 50–65 °F

Soil Preferences:
• Grows well in sandy, loamy, or rocky soils
• Prefers well-drained conditions, but tolerates light compaction

Maintenance:
• Mow or trim once in late spring to remove debris and encourage fresh growth
• Light spring fertilization (if desired) using slow-release, low-rate nitrogen

Ideal For

• Homeowners seeking a low-maintenance, meadow-style lawn
• Landscapers designing wildlife-friendly or water-efficient plantings
• Erosion control on slopes, roadsides, and swales
• Ornamental gardens, pathways, and rockeries needing a soft, natural groundcover

With its elegant foliage, ecological function, and adaptability, Sheep Fescue is a landscape workhorse that brings visual charm and lasting utility to both formal and informal settings.

White clover (Trifolium repens) is a European-native perennial legume and one of the most widely distributed legumes globally. Highly valued in pastures and lawns, it naturally fixes nitrogen—acting as a living fertilizer for surrounding grasses. It grows up to a foot tall, spreads via stolons, tolerates a variety of soils and climates, and thrives in cool, moist environments.

• **Nitrogen-Fixing:** Forms symbiotic relationships with Rhizobia bacteria, often fixing 110–150 lb of nitrogen per acre annually—reducing fertilizer needs :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}.
• **Adaptable Growth:** Prefers cool, moist climates but tolerates a broad temperature range (mean 4–22 °C) and soil pH from 4.5–8.2; best performance in well-drained clay or loam soils with ≥18″ annual precipitation :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
• **Palatable & Nutritious:** Highly favored by livestock (cattle, sheep, deer) and also an important forage for honey bees and pollinators :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
• **Cool-Season Performance:** Thrives in cool, moist conditions, with excellent winter hardiness comparable to red clover and alfalfa :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.
• **Spreading Habit:** Grows up to 12″ tall and spreads via stolons to form a dense, mat-like ground cover—enhancing weed suppression and soil health :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.
• **Ecological Benefits:** Supports pollinators, enriches soil structure, and serves well in pasture mixes, lawns, green manures, and cover crops :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.

Directions

Seeding:
• Ideal for mixtures: sow at 3–4 lb/acre into pastures (e.g., with orchardgrass, ryegrass, fescue) :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
• Depth: Broadcast or drill at ¼″ into firm, moist seedbed in spring or fall, when soil temps are above ~50 °F.

Management:
• Mowing or grazing to 3–4″ height promotes stolon development and dense ground cover.
• Thrives on moderate moisture (≥18″ annual rainfall); in drier zones, supplemental irrigation or companion irrigation-needed species helps
• Minimal fertilizer required—benefits from lime, phosphate, and potash; nitrogen input can be greatly reduced due to its N-fixation capacity :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.

Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) is the gold standard for premium turfgrass—famous for its rich emerald color, fine leaf texture, and long-term durability. As a perennial, cool-season grass, it forms a dense, carpet-like lawn that self-repairs through underground rhizomes, making it ideal for high-traffic areas, athletic fields, and upscale residential landscapes.

• Cold Tolerance & Spring Green-Up: Breaks dormancy early, greening up fast in spring
• Heat & Moisture Management: Modern cultivars show improved heat and disease tolerance
• Wear Recovery: Rhizomatous growth knits turf together, healing divots and high-wear zones
• Aesthetic Excellence: Lush color, uniform density, and fine blades create a top-tier visual appearance
• Low-Maintenance Potential: Requires moderate irrigation and fertilization once established
• Long-Term Value: With proper care, stands last for years without frequent reseeding

Kentucky bluegrass thrives in northern climates and transitional zones, performing best in loamy, well-drained soils with at least 6 hours of sun daily. Its perennial growth habit reduces the need for constant renovation, and its self-repairing nature means fewer inputs and better long-term lawn performance.

Directions

Seeding Rate:
• New Lawns – Up to 5 lb per 1,000 sq. ft.
• Overseeding – 2–3 lb per 1,000 sq. ft.

Planting Time:
• Early spring or early fall are optimal—cool temperatures and adequate moisture support rapid establishment

Soil Prep:
• pH 6.0–7.0
• Loamy, well-drained soils enriched with compost or organic matter

Maintenance:
• Mow to 1.5–2.5″ regularly
• Aerate annually to maintain root vigor and reduce compaction
• Apply slow-release fertilizer in spring and late summer
