Description

Our Xeriscape Clover Lawn Seed Mix is a sustainable lawn solution that includes our Low Work & Water Grass Dwarf Fescue Seed, Dutch White Clover seeds, and white-flowering Achillea (Yarrow) seeds. This mix will improve your soil, attract pollinators, and create a soft green space in your yard. Dutch White Clover (Trifolium repens) is one of the most popular perennial clovers used in lawns, favored for its durability as an erosion-preventing groundcover, and for its ability to fix nitrogen to improve soil health. Achillea (Yarrow) is a vigorous and resilient plant that tolerates gravelly or lean soils, and it is very drought resistant – it can thrive where lawns typically struggle, and its lacy foliage creates a soft green groundcover. When left to bloom, the elegant white clover and Achillea flowers will create a carpet that dances gently in the breeze, providing a great nectar source for pollinators. Mow occasionally for a more manicured look, or retire your lawn mower to skip mowing entirely.

Clover seed is nitro-coated with 34% limestone and inoculated product.

This mix is suited for a wide range of the United States and is best for all but the hottest extremes. This cool season lawn mix is best sown in March through early May, or late August through September.

Planting & Care

Grass & Clover Seed Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

View Complete Grass Seed Planting Guide and Soil Preparation Guide

1. Preparing the area for planting. We recommend leveling the planting area as much as possible to eliminate high or low spots. Till the soil if possible about 4-6 inches deep, as the soil should be loose and clump-free before planting. If your area is already somewhat bare and even, we recommend skipping the tilling process as it can promote new weed growth or unwanted grass growth. You can then add Plant Success Organics™ Granular Mycorrhizae Root Inoculant to improve seed germination.

2. After your soil is prepared, apply the seed at the recommended rate. Planting rates vary depending on the size of the seed:

Blue Grama Grass Hachita: seed 4 lbs covers 1000 square feet
No Mow Lawn Grass Seed: 5 lbs covers 1000 square feet; 10 lbs covers 2000 square feet
Low Work and Water Dwarf Fescue Grass Seed: 5 lbs covers 500 square feet,10 lbs covers 1000 square feet.

To make sure you’re spreading the seed evenly, scatter 1/2 of the seed walking north to south and 1/2 of the seed walking east to west.

3. If you have poor soil, you could lightly apply an organic fertilizer after seeding, although this is not a necessary step for strong growth. We recommend using Yum Yum mix to amend your soil.

4. Many choose to cover their grass seed after planting, even though this is not necessary. If you do choose to cover your seed to help retain moisture and hold the seed in place, we recommend a maximum depth of 1/4”. You can cover the seed with topsoil, clean wheat or barley straw, or peat moss. Coated seeds such as Bermuda and Clover seeds should not be covered more than an 1/8” deep.

5. Water gently and regularly, keeping the seeds moist until they begin to sprout. This could mean watering more than once a day if you’re having a dry spell. Once the seeds sprout, water deeply and less frequently. This helps to ensure a deep rooted, healthy lawn or meadow.

6. Do not mow until your lawn is at the recommended height. For most grasses, this is about 3-6 weeks after planting, but could be longer depending on growing conditions. Remember to be gentle when mowing the first few times -- the seedlings will be somewhat tender.

7. After mowing several times, you can apply an organic fertilizer to promote strong growth, but this is not a necessary step.

Remember: It may take weeks or even a month for the seeds to grow.
