Ladino Clover (Trifolium repens var. giganteum) – Perennial A larger, more vigorous type of white clover with bigger leaves and higher flower production than standard Dutch white. Excellent nectar source and forms a lush, low-growing cover that persists for years. Sowing tips: Depth: surface to 3 mm max (lightly press in, do not bury) Germination: 7–14 days Spacing: sow dense for full coverage Coverage (dense sowing): ~25–35 sq ft per 20 g Growing notes: Height: typically 6–12 inches (taller than Dutch white) Sun: full sun to partial shade Water: moderate; more moisture-responsive than Dutch clover Soil: adaptable; performs best in fertile, well-drained soil Helpful info: Produces more biomass and flowers than standard white clover Strong, consistent nectar source for bees Spreads to form a thick ground cover over time Fixes nitrogen, improving surrounding soil Less tolerant of heavy foot traffic than Dutch white General Sowing (Urban / Flowerbeds) Timing: Spring or early fall Prep: Loosen topsoil (2–5 cm), remove weeds Seed: Broadcast evenly and press into soil Water: Keep soil moist until established Tip: Keep seed near the surface—burying too deep will reduce germination.
