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.

Quick way to stabilize bare spots and erosion damage
I had a lawn with lots of white clovers before, and I liked how they looked (bright green) and how well they spread. As a plus, they will produce white flowers that attract pollinators.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.

5.0 out of 5 stars It won my wife over
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2024
Great product. I recommend trying to seed just before gentle rain events. My wife was worried it would take over the yard but after she saw it growing she asked me to plant more. Very lush, very beautiful. It keeps coming back ever since we planted it. Backyard where it took strongly requires no fertilizer or pesticide and I water less than I did with just fescue. The clover accentuates the grass, but doesn't allow weeds to grow. Grows back rapidly after being mowed.

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024
I’m very pleased with the Dutch white clover seeds. They sprouted within just a few days - unfortunately just before an unexpected polar vortex. Overnight lows got down to 26°F. I covered some of the areas I seeded, but not all. Thankfully, it appears that nearly all of them survived! The ones that were exposed are a bit behind the protected plants, but it looks like they will all be quite hearty. I definitely recommend these seeds.

Planted them late winter right in the rainy season. These pictures are the sprouts after about four days. I’ll be following their growth but they seem pretty good!
I also didn’t cover them with much dirt and they still rooted and grew.
