Start with the problem, not the species. Most people arrive here searching for a solution — a lawn that survives a dog, feeds bees, or stops needing water. Use Clover by Need if that is you; use Varieties only once you know which job the plant has to do.

A single species is an ingredient. The blend is the answer.
Low Water Xeriscape Mix — fescues + Trifolium repens. Low-water / xeriscape. Buy the blend when the job needs more than one plant — the grass carries the wear, the clover feeds it, the flowers feed the bees. Buy the single species when you want one plant, one look, one job.
