Micro Clover, Trifolium repens

DescriptionMicro Clover, Trifolium repens, is a refined lawn clover we offer for homeowners and landscapers looking for a greener, denser, lower-maintenance lawn. This smaller-leaf clover works well as a stand-alone lawn or blended with turfgrass, where it helps improve color, supports natural nitrogen contribution, and encourages a fuller surface that stands up well to routine mowing. Its pelletized seed is easier to handle and spread, making it a practical choice for new lawn projects, lawn renovation, and overseeding.Quick SpecsBotanical Name: Trifolium repens var.

We recommend Micro Clover for lawns that need better density, lower fertilizer demand, and reduced watering once established. Its low growth habit and smaller leaves give it a neater lawn look than standard white clover, while its spreading habit helps fill in open areas and compete with weeds.Where? Use it in home lawns, low-input landscapes, and lawn renovation projects where you want a softer, greener surface with less maintenance. It performs well on its own and also pairs well with turfgrass when you want a blended lawn that looks fuller and stays greener with fewer inputs.When? Spring and early fall are the best planting windows. Seed when conditions are mild and warm enough for steady germination and root development.Water? Keep the seedbed evenly moist during germination and early establishment. Once rooted in, Micro Clover needs less water than many traditional lawns and performs best with deep, less frequent watering.
