Product Description
- White Dutch Clover (Trifolium Repens) - White Dutch Clover designates a strain of white clover which is perennial. Used in lawns, as a ground cover, cover crop, for erosion control, and in pasture mixtures. Usually matures around 8 inches tall.
- Inoculated Seed - Our White Dutch clover seed has been coated with an inoculant for better establishment. Nitrogen fixation is a one of the key values found in legumes and can only occur with the proper inoculation. Although many strains or Rhizobium may be present in the soil, all are not equally beneficial. With Nitro-Coat each seed is inoculated with the correct Rhizobium strains and coated through a proven process that ensures a very high level of successful inoculation. A key to any successful establishment and early seed development is moisture. Nitro-Coat is naturally water absorbent and helps attract soil moisture to the seed, getting your stand established quickly. This coating process which Outsidepride utilizes, assures that only the top-performing and crop-specific rhizobia will be applied to ensure your clovers reach maximum nodulation, stand establishment, and yield potential. With Nitro-Coat each seed is inoculated with the correct Rhizobium strains and coated through a proven process that ensures a very high level of successful inoculation. The weight of the clover seeds will contain approximately 34% coating material that contains the inoculant and water holding material for better establishment and viability of the seed.
- No-till or minimum till techniques and by broadcast seeding. In conventional seedbeds, white clover is almost always seeded with a perennial grass for lawns or hard or sheeps fescue for erosion control. Just scatter the seeds, rake lightly, and keep the clover seeds moist until it sprouts! After sprouting occurs, cut back watering as root development starts taking place and less water is needed. Withstands mild drought, grows well all over the U.S., even on barren soil where nothing else wants to grow. Winter hardy and it stays so low you can just till it under in spring if you are using it for a cover crop.
The most important investment in a fertility program is a soil test, which will indicate soil needs with regard to pH, phosphorus, and potassium. White dutch clover yields better and stands last longer when grown on soils with a medium level of phosphorus and potassium. A pH of 6.0 - 6.5 is usually recommended for excellent yields and stand persistence. In some states, minor elements may also be recommended.
Fertilization with nitrogen is not recommended when seeding white clover seeds into grass. Nitrogen will stimulate the grass, thus providing more competition for the white clover seedlings during establishment. This becomes even more of a problem when seeding white clover into established grass pastures. Increased grass competition from added nitrogen can result in death of white clover seedlings. In most states, application of nitrogen to established clover/grass mixtures is not recommended if white clover occupies 20% or more of the ground cover.
Seeding rates vary with geographic location, seeding method, and seeding mixture. In general, rates 1/4 - 1/2 lb per 1000 square feet or 8 to 10 lbs per acre are recommended.
The ideal seeding depth for clover seeds is approximately 1/4-inch maximum, but under favorable weather and soil conditions, clover seed present on the soil surface may germinate and become established. Good seed-soil contact is important to ensure rapid germination and emergence.
In the Southern USA, white clover is seeded in late winter or early spring and in late summer. In the Northern USA, most white dutch clover is seeded in early spring or late summer.
White dutch clover can be seeded by many no-till or minimum till techniques and by broadcast seeding. In conventional seedbeds, white clover is almost always seeded with a perennial grass for lawns or hard or sheep's fescue for erosion control. Just scatter the seeds, rake lightly, and keep the clover seeds moist until it sprouts! After sprouting occurs, cut back watering as root development starts taking place and less water is needed. Withstands mild drought, grows well all over the U.S., even on barren soil where nothing else wants to grow. Winter hardy and it stays so low you can just till it under in spring if you are using it for a cover crop.
If necessary, white clover-grass stands can be mowed to remove grass leaves and seed heads and to hinder broadleaf weeds and woody vegetation.

On a new property, the backyard was severely damaged (dirt spots, erosion damage, weeds), plus the town has water usage limits in place, so I needed a quick and efficient solution to develop some green cover. This product can develop sprouts in as little as 2 days, so there is less need to water for days waiting for sprouts to take place, and within 10 days, you can see a nice little green cover where it was spread, further reducing your water demand.
I also liked that the seeds are more like little spherical pellets than typical grass seeds, making them easier to spread by hand and attracting fewer birds.

I recently tried out some clover seed for my garden, and I must say, it's been quite impressive. The seeds germinated quickly and the clover plants have been thriving. They've added a beautiful touch of green to my garden and have attracted some lovely pollinators like bees and butterflies. 🌼🐝 The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is because I found that it required a bit more maintenance than I expected. The clover tends to spread quickly, so I had to keep an eye on it to prevent it from taking over other plants. But overall, if you're looking to add some natural beauty and attract pollinators to your garden, this clover seed is definitely worth considering. 🌱🌸
One thing I really appreciate about this clover seed is its versatility. It can be used for various purposes, such as ground cover, erosion control, or even as a nitrogen-fixing cover crop. 🌿💪 It's a great option for areas that need some extra greenery or for those who want to improve the soil quality in their garden. The seeds are easy to sow and the germination rate is quite high. Plus, clover is known for its ability to enrich the soil by adding nitrogen, which can benefit other plants in your garden. So, if you're looking for a multi-purpose seed that adds beauty and improves soil health, give this clover seed a try. 🌱🌿⭐⭐⭐⭐

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024
First off, my yard should have only used 4‐5 pounds to cover according to their advertisement, not so!
I used a Scott's spreader set on 2 that's the lowest setting on mine and did one pass north to south and one east to west. Before I seeded
I raked all the dead up, really went at it and got it to bare dirt. Then I rented an aerator from HD and beat myself to death with that. My yard was finally ready for seed.
I spread the seed, raked it lightly and turned the water back on. Watered everyday twice a day for two weeks now and nothing!
If things start to come in I will
update this post.
Update I changed my review from 1 star to a 3 star.
I am starting to see sprouts pop up thanks to the heavy three times a day water cycle. I think part of the problem was not enough water? There are spots where I seeded twice and still nothing! Also, I had to use 15 pounds of seed vs what they post on the ad. I also seed over areas twice to achieve any results.
A big are in the front of the house still has zero sprouts and they were sowed a day apart? I don't know why that is? Product, soil, too much sun,not enough water?? I can tell you it loves water! I have a small are of dirt on the drive way from run of and it's now mud from all the water and it's growing sprouts from the overspray. Lol! I'm thinking I'll shovel it up and place it on a bare spot close by.
