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 and reduces mowing needs. Mowing shorter at about 2-3" regularly will reduce the number of flowers produced as well as the number of pollinators visiting making it a great option for pets and kids!

Reduce Maintenance Costs -- Micro Clover is a nitrogen fixer that replaces lawn fertilizers and reduces the need to mow. Once your flowering lawn is established, it won't require watering, except in periods of extended drought.
What To Expect When Using Flawn Seed -- With regular watering, Micro Clover will germinate in 1-2 weeks, and plants will be small for the first couple of months. Watering regularly after seeding and through dry periods is critical for success.
Pure Seeds -- Unlike other brands, Flawn Seed doesn't use grass seed fillers. Our specialty seed contains Micro Clover Seed.
Seeding Rate Information: Micro Clover is 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 to ensure soil won't completely dry out during the germination period. Designed to be over-seeded into existing grass lawn areas. Increase seeding rate for bare soil areas.
