White Dutch Clover Seeds

Product Overview

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.
