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.

Excellent germination and growth

"Planted one month ago mid-September in Southern Indiana. So far, very please with germination and initial growth. Love the natural look of this alternative lawn!"

— Rhonda A. (5/5)

Two plantings--less than 10% germination

"Wanted so badly for this to work. Two applications over the course of two months following the instructions closely. Watered accoridng to directions. Each application yielded less than 10% germination. Other High Country Gardens seeds have worked well for me, but this was a bust. Large areas of the yard are still bare soil months later."

— Jeff (1/5)

Beautiful, wild lawn

"I really like this lawn mix. I live in Denver and am in the second year of this lawn. It started growing in very thick in the spring without any water from me. I have not mowed this year or last. A few comments. The components grow in differently. The parts of my yard that get the most sun are filled with clover. The rest is more grass and yarrow. All of the components are also quite a bit taller than I anticipated, but I like the wild look. Finally, some of the yarrow is full size, meaning they are several feet tall. Most of the yarrow is miniature, and I do really like the look of it in the lawn. The lawn gets light traffic and seems to do fine with that. Overall, this is a beautiful lush lawn with low water needs and low maintenance needs and I would buy it again."

— Jess (5/5)

I would buy again, even if it's a tad pricey

"I'm a couple weeks in and what's come up is great. Typically you'll only get clover with this kind of stuff but the ferns were a welcome surprise. Then again the ferns may have come from another mix of seeds I planted. Not sure tbh I kinda went overboard and just seeded everything all at once. I dunno. I've been watering everyday and doing my best to keep the chickens out. I'd buy it again, but I'd buy twice as much if it wasn't so expensive. Not particularly sure why grass seeds cost so much but then again I'm not a grass seedoligist"

— Tim (4/5)

Not sure

"I have seeded twice with this mix and not gotten much more than clover. I'm glad to see it, but it's cost quite a bit and I'm not seeing any yarrow at this point."

— Hopeful (3/5)

Yarrow, clover and grass

"Introduced this mix into our clover and grass lawn. I look forward to the increased drought resistance and biodiversity of our lawn."

— Jordan (5/5)

Exceeded expectations!

"We purchased the xeric clover lawn seed mix for a backyard that was a ""clean slate"", aka dirt, in Grand Junction CO. Although I admit that we applied like 4 times the recommended amount because our seed spreader was set too high, we are really happy with the results. It took 5 days for seeds to sprout at the end of April and we had a full, thick lawn in June. (Some would call it a meadow because we left it grow very long. ) We've been gently using a weed eater to reduce the height and we have continued watering every morning because temps here were over 100 for much of the summer."

— Pokyrunner (5/5)

Great ground cover

"I bought Xeriscape Clover Lawn Seed Mix and two other clover seeds. After amending my depleted soil, it has filled in and is lush, soft, and healthy. #sweepstakes"

— KD (5/5)

Planted between snowstorms, don´t know yet if any will grow

"I received the seeds for the Xeriscape clover mix in the middle of a big snowstorm. I waited until it had melted and the ground had thawed enough to prepare the top layer of soil. I spread the seeds and covered with straw. In a few days there was another snow storm. When that melted, a large flock of small ground-feeding birds arrived and found there was a treasure trove of seeds. The stayed for about a week. Now the area is again covered with snow - that is springtime in the Rockies for you! I will wait a while to see what happens when the warmth is here to stay. II hope there will be some green shoots! Otherwise, I will be contacting HCG for pointers on how to prevent the birds from eating all the seed."

— Waiting S. (3/5)

Looks great!

"Super easy to spread and is growing in nicely"

— NoMowPlans (5/5)
