Outsidepride 2 lb. Perennial White Miniclover Dwarf, Small Leaved, Lawn Clover & Ground Cover Seeds

Description

Miniclover (Trifolium repens) is a perennial clover which is great to use in lawn mixtures as a natural fertilizer similarly to other dwarf, low growing, micro clover products. White clover takes nitrogen out of the air, bringing this most essential fertilizer "down-to-earth" by means of nitrogen-fixing bacteria living in nodes along the roots. Of course, all at no cost to you, in terms either of money or of maintenance. Miniclover, a very small leaved white clover only reaching approximately 4 - 6 inches in height, also produces stolons so that it can spread itself evenly over the ground. Adding just 2 - 5% of Miniclover to the turf seed mixture will result in a much-improved lawn. It has all the benefits of regular clover just packed into smaller leaves. Miniclover's ability to pull nitrogen from the air and fix or convert it to a usable form by the plants makes it a great companion for turf grass varieties similar to other dwarf, low growing, micro type variety clovers. When Miniclover is planted in warm temperatures and kept moist, you will have sprouts typically within 5 - 7 days. Miniclover will flower once a year in the summer for about 1 month if it is not mowed. If Miniclover is not cut then the leaf size increases, the more it is cut then the smaller the leaf size. When Miniclover or micro clover lawns are not mowed at all, the leaf size will be about 1/2 the size of White Dutch Clover. When it is mowed, new leaf heads form within a few days so it continually looks thick and lush. If the clover lawn is never mowed, it will get approximately 6 inches tall depending on soil quality, sunshine, water, temperature, etc. If you mow it, it will want to quit growing just slightly taller than the height it was mowed at. For example, if you mow it at a height of 3 inches, it will head back out and quit growing at a height of approximately 4 inches. In other words, you can almost "train" its growing height with mowings which is called, "plant elasticity."
