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.

clover is great because it won't turn brown if you don't water it, and is resistant to heat. ONCE ITS ESTABLISHED.
Obviously, you're going to want to plant this in the spring or early summer.
The first thing you will want to do is mow your lawn very low. One inch is a good number, you don't want to scalp it but you want to mow very very low. Preferably you will want to use a bag to collect clippings.
After that, you will need to rake. Your yard will be full of thatch, dead grass that lies between the soil and the grass on top. Use a metal yard rake and just go over the whole yard, you'll pull up tons of dead grass and straw, and be able to just see the earth between blades of grass.
Once you have prepped the yard, you can lay the seed. Make sure that you are spreading it evenly, I recommend using a hand spreader (They sell them all over, with a crank on them or battery.) or use a push spreader if you have a big yard. The seeds do not need to be raked into the soil. Just spread them evenly over the areas you want clover. If you prepare the yard as I said above, the clover will mix and mingle with your normal grass.
The best thing you can do is wait until you're going to get a good week of rain. the weather is fickle, so you have to water this EVERY DAY. Use sprinklers and water in the morning, soak the grass well with a half to 3/4th of an inch of water every day for at least 7 days. This will let the clover germinate.
I put this over my entire yard, which is about 60x60 feet. One bag was more than enough and it grew fine following the steps above.
To our surprise, the clover seeds began to sprout in a matter of days! It was truly amazing to see how quickly they grew and started to fill in the bare patches of our lawn. I couldn't be happier with the results - not only does our yard look much more lush and full, but the clover also adds a pop of color and texture that we didn't have before.
Overall, I would highly recommend using clover as a natural and easy solution for anyone looking to improve the look of their lawn without too much effort or expense. It's a win-win situation that both you and your yard will love!
I also didn’t cover them with much dirt and they still rooted and grew.
