Non-GMO organic coated Micro Clover Seeds mixed with organic compost and soil builders in an easy to use shaker spreader. Full Sun to Shade, Deer Resistant, Drought Tolerant, Perennial in USDA Zones 3-9. Micro Clover grows better in shade than grass and tolerates foot traffic and pets better than grass making it a great option for families with kids and pets. Micro Clover fixes atmospheric nitrogen into the ground, reducing the need for fertilizer once established. Mowing shorter at about 2-3" regularly will keep the leaves small and reduce the number of flowers produced as well as the number of pollinators visiting making it a great option for pets and kids! Micro Clover Trifolium repens var. pipolina leaves are about 1/4 the size of Dutch White Clover leaves and is a great option if you prefer to keep your lawn shorter. It still fixes nitrogen into the soil, which reduces your fertilizer needs to none once it is established. It also reduces watering needs. USDA Hardiness Zones: 3-9 Height: 2-4" Bloom/Period: Rarely, unless left to grow wild Sunlight: Full sun to shade Soil: Grows well in clay, silt, and loam. Will grow in sand. Drought Tolerance: High Maintenance Needs: Low Pairs Well With: Fine Fescue (Low Mow) Grass, Crimson Clover, Self-Heal, Creeping Thyme Seeding Information: When to Seed: Spring, late summer, or early fall when rains are frequent and temperatures are moderate. Do not seed if a frost is forecast. Can also be dormant seeded on frozen ground. Site Preparation: Mow at .5-1", remove clippings and rake any additional thatch. The soil must be visible and loosened up before seeding or seed will likely not grow. Watering: Lightly water after seeding to start germination process. Prevent soil from completely drying out for a period of 1-2 weeks, then water as needed if seedlings start wilting. Mowing: Maintain a height of 3" for the first year. This prevents the grass and any weeds from crowding out the baby Micro Clover seedlings and trains it to grow smaller leaves. If it starts to produce larger leaves, reduce mowing height and increase mowing frequency. Fertilizer: For lawns that have not been fertilized recently it may be beneficial to apply a low nitrogen organic fertilizer 2-3 months after seeding such as a 8-0-4 or similar. Weed Control: It is best to remove excessive weeds by hand or natural methods before seeding. After seeding, remove unwanted weeds as desired. WARNING: Do not broadcast apply weed killers as they will kill the plants. Not seeing the information you're looking for? Please email us
