Micro Clover Seed

Micro Clover Seed (1 lb bag)

Micro clover (Trifolium repens var. ‘Pirouette’ or ‘Pipolina’) is a dwarf white clover with small leaves and low growth habit, designed to blend seamlessly with turf while providing ecological and aesthetic benefits :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.

Key Benefits

• Nitrogen Fixing: Forms symbiosis with Rhizobium bacteria to naturally add nitrogen, reducing fertiliser needs by up to one application per year :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
• Low Maintenance Lawn: Grows only 4–6″ tall; tolerates mowing down to ~3″, suppresses weeds, and remains soft underfoot :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.
• Durable & Eco‑Friendly: Withstands wet, shade, drought, and light foot traffic; enhances soil health and biodiversity :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.
• Pollinator‑Friendly: Bee‑attracting flowers and improved habitat for beneficial insects :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.

Seeding & Establishment

Solo seeding: 1 lb covers approx. 1,000 ft²; for overseeding, use ~10% of that rate (0.1 lb/1,000 ft²) :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.

Planting: Seed in spring (after frost) or fall; prepare a smooth, firm seedbed, lightly press in seed, keep soil consistently moist until seedlings are 2–3″ tall :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.

Care & Maintenance

• Mowing: Maintain at 3–4″ for tidy appearance; micro clover stays low and reduces weed flowering :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}.
• Watering: Moderate; once established, it functions in rainfall-only systems.
• No fertiliser or herbicides: Thrives without synthetic nitrogen; avoid broadleaf herbicides, which will harm the clover :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}.

Ideal Uses

• Low‑maintenance home lawns
• Eco‑friendly groundcovers under shade or mixed with turf
• Parks and lawns seeking reduced water and fertiliser needs
• Pollinator‑supporting turf in yards and green spaces

Micro clover is an excellent upgrade for traditional lawns—it’s easy to establish, self‑sustaining, reduces nitrogen costs, supports pollinators, and offers a lush, green turf year‑round.

Note: While more shade- and heat-sensitive than traditional clover, micro clover remains a top choice for sustainable, low-input turf systems :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}.

Seeding rate: 1 lb per 1,000 ft² (20 lb/acre scale available upon request).
