Non-GMO Crimson Clover seed mixed with Mow Less Fine Fescue grass seed blend available in either a kraft pouch, easy spread shaker jug, or bulk size pails.
Crimson Clover grows in full sun to shade in sandy to loam to clay soils. Crimson Clover has broad leaves which make your lawn drought tolerant by shading the ground and keeping it cool and moist, preventing your grass from dying in mid-summer heat waves. It also crowds out weed seedlings. If planted in zones 3-5 it will be an annual or biannual depending on climate. Perennial in zones 6-9. If you would prefer a smaller leaved plant with fewer flowers that still provides the nitrogen-fixing benefits of clover, check out Micro-Clover.
Our Mow Less grass seed mix is a blend of fine fescues which have better shade tolerance than bluegrass and require much less fertilizer and mowing. We recommend mowing regularly for the first season after planting to allow all varieties to mature. It is recommend to mow at your highest setting a few times each year to allow light and air to the soil surface to prevent rot and decay as well as one variety from overtaking the others.

Crimson Clover and Fine Fescues are easy to establish and can be seeded in spring, summer, or fall, or dormant seeded in late fall when the ground is frozen or over fresh snow on a calm day in winter. If seeding in spring, wait until ground thaws and soil temperatures are around 55 degrees (Late April to early May for upper mid-west states). Avoid seeding before hot and dry periods, and make sure to prevent soil from completely drying out during the germination period.
