Clover lawns

Clover lawns, fed by the plant itself

Nitrogen-fixing clover seed for a soft, green, low-input lawn that needs little or no fertiliser.

A soft white-clover lawn with scattered blooms in a welcoming low-input backyard

The short version

Clover lawns fix their own nitrogen, stay green with little feeding, and are soft underfoot and pollinator-friendly. This collection gathers our clover seed — from classic white Dutch to fine micro clover and specialist strawberry and crimson clovers.

What’s inside

What’s in the clover collection

This collection brings together every clover we carry as seed — single-species clovers and clover blends. White Dutch clover is the classic lawn clover; micro clover is a finer, lower dwarf form for a tidier look; strawberry clover tolerates heat and salt; and crimson clover adds ornamental colour.

All clovers share the same super-power: through root nodules they fix atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-available form, which is why a clover lawn stays green on little or no synthetic feed. University of Maryland Extension documents white clover contributing on the order of 100 lb of nitrogen per acre per year under good conditions.

How to choose

Which clover is right for you

For a traditional soft lawn, start with white Dutch clover. If you want a lower, finer, more manicured look, choose micro clover. For hot, dry, or coastal ground, strawberry clover is the most tolerant. And for a blended, resilient lawn, the three- and dual-clover mixes combine forms for broader adaptability.

All are soft underfoot and — unlike many ornamentals — white clover is not on the ASPCA list of plants toxic to dogs and cats, which makes clover a popular choice for family and pet lawns.

Questions

Common questions

Do clover lawns really need no fertiliser?

Clover fixes its own nitrogen, so most clover lawns need little or no synthetic feed. In fact, heavy nitrogen favours grass and weeds over clover, so it is best avoided.

Is clover safe for dogs?

White clover is not on the ASPCA list of plants toxic to dogs and cats. As with any lawn, pets should not graze heavily on it.

Can I mix clover into an existing lawn?

Yes — clover is excellent for overseeding. Mow low, scratch up thin areas, broadcast, and keep moist.
