Seeds germinated and growing great!
I bought this product in late winter and planted it on bare, newly scraped yard with crappy clay soil. Used a âlawn starterâ and laid a this layer of top soil then used a push spreader to spread the clover. After, spread a little straw over the top then watered every day it didnât rain for 14 days. **(Note – I may have watered too much and some seeds washed into piles. No more than 10 mins necessary- just keeping it moist every day for the germination period.) At the end of two weeks i could see sprouts. By mid April I had a green clover yard. There are some flowers that popped up in the summertime, but itâs not a heavy flowering type of clover.Based on some info I read about clover not being a hardy monoculture lawn (b/c it needs to be reseeded every 3 or 4 years and doesnât handle very heavy traffic well) I did mix this with a fescue (as well as another type of mini clover). In some areas the fescue (and other grassy weeds) took over, primarily in very sunny areas. But in the shady areas, the clover is growing in fantastically; and even in the sunny areas it is holding its own, too. I do recommend this product.

Sprouted fast
Make sure thereâs no wind at all when you spread it the seeds are tiny and any little gust sends them all over easy to put down did it right before it rained for four days straight already have clover did the second bag on the street frontage as itâs mostly weeds and dies from the snow every winter hope it sprouts as quick as the back yard has canât wait for it to start to bloom I plan on getting a few more bags and over seeding multiple times over the summer

Be patient and prep well!
After throwing down the seeds over a large spot of my yard I dug up to fix a plumbing problem, I gave it all a light covering of saw dust to help hold the moisture and shield it from the direct sunlight. This seemed to really help it out, as the small area I missed with sawdust was no where near as fast to grow. Watered it daily, just to keep the soil moist and threw down a little bit of lime to counteract my slightly acidic soil.So far, it has survived my 2 dogs running across it and my wife and I carefully walking over it. If it wouldn’t block access to the back yard, I would have barricaded it off, but I am very happy it is hearty enough to survive this kind of thing! I also realized far too late that I had comically over-seeded the area, since I was just hand-throwing the seed, but it doesn’t seem to have been a problem.The picture of the clover puppies is 2-3 months after planting. It takes a while to establish itself and doesn’t show much growth at all for several weeks. I was beginning to think the seeds were duds, then seemingly overnight, the clover exploded out of the ground, so be patient!Supposedly, it will grow in all climate zones, as well as shade/direct sunlight, and is drought resistant. We’ll have to see how it handles a frigid Alaskan winter, whether or not it will survive the limited rain under my deck and the area of dense shade. I’m trying to be optimistic, but only time will tell.The product picture makes it look like a deceptively large bag of seeds since it doesn’t give you anything for scale, so I was surprised at how small the bag was in real life. I attached a picture to give you an idea of how small of a bag it is. This is why I knocked off a star.

Works great!
This is just from April to June. Watered consistently and it starts growing within a week.

Probably what is needed
I sowed this and we had rain for a month. I haven’t seen clover come up yet. Maybe it got washed away.

Your Fescue will love this clover!
Updated with picture at 6 weeks. Mowed first time – very thick!This clover is a bit different than Dutch White… it’s a brighter green with a smaller leaf size. I tested it out in the back this past spring and was happy with how easily it took and the look of it. It didn’t flower in its first season and I’m not sure it ever does? I can tell you it can handle heavy traffic from kids and dog activities. The micro clover from outside pride did not take as well as this one (tried it last season and it came in just okay but not dense, and it also wasn’t very micro)We live in zone 7 where it transitions between the North and the South. We have tried so many types of grass that claim to be drought tolerant and heat tolerant as our weather is all over the place and we are on a well. None of them survive their first summer season! I read that clover is a natural fertilizer for other grasses and I can attest to this as the fescues in the back survived the summer alongside this clover. I only had to mow for the grasses because the clover never got to be higher than 2 in and I wonder if this will remain the case?I love the look of fluffy clover dominating over a fine blade grass, and I know it will be a lot less maintenance and lawn mowing, so this year I bought five bags of this stuff. to prepare I bought the aerator sandals on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C6J64FG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WEWGFbMXT9BB5I mowed our mixed grasses to the lowest level while wearing the sandals. I raked the loose stuff away and cast this clover seed by hand generously. I was diligent about using the sprinkler on days that we didn’t get rain… It’s a whole process to move it around to cover all the areas but totally worth it for this stuff to establish properly. They germinated in about three days. The picture I posted is day five. I was surprised to see how well it took even in the wild thatchy Bermuda patches. I think the aeration played a role in the success, so I highly recommend doing that if you have dense clay soil. I overseeded with a lesser portion of a fine fescue hoping that this will dominate and keep the fescue healthy during the hot months.If you want to worry less about your lawn, introduce beautiful texture and color and spend more time enjoying it versus maintaining it, buy this particular clover seed and buy a generous amount! I really like the brighter green and smaller leaf size of this variety! It looks more whimsical :-)I will follow up with another photo once this has made it through an entire season. Hopefully this helps other people who have been struggling to establish something consistent and low maintenance as I have!

Product didnât grow
Canât be refunded since I used the product but it unfortunately didnât grow so it was a waste of money. I have ordered a new bag in hopes it was a fluke but still shame on Amazon and the manufacturer for not refunding when an item is defective .

Growing well 1 month later in zone 6b/7
Looks great. Photos are roughly 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and 4 weeks of growth. Excited for it to continue to fill out. Nearly 2 bags were used for my amount of space but you could use less if you don’t seed as often as I did, I wanted to make sure I didn’t have empty patches.

Spread the seed and nothing happened – not one clover appeared
