Nature’s Seed White Dutch Clover Seed, Drought Tolerant Ground Cover, Low Maintenance Garden Yard Lawn Alternative, 1/4 acre

I originally was going to buy another brand until I read the reviews and saw some pretty disturbing comments made to a customer by the company's owner. That should really put companies on notice that ugly political and social commentary will cost you business. Their loss was my gain. I bought this instead and I really think I got a far superior product anyway. I basically just threw this down after mowing my grass to the nub for three weeks straight. I watered every day to keep the ground damp as we were going through a very hot and dry spell at that time, and within about 3 days I started seeing growth. I was a little heavy handed on dispersal on the first half of the lawn so growth isn't uniform but that's a user error. I'll likely just buy more and finish the lawn. It's now very noticeable that I have clover growing in the lawn. The yard is very noticably green and looks better than our neighbors who have burnt out Kentucky Bluegrass that was never meant to live through hot, dry summers. With more clover flowers, I've seen more native bees during just this season alone than in the past few years combined. I hate grass. It's a useless monoculture crop that has taken over as one of the primary crops by square mile in the US. Worse yet, it's just one more unenjoyable house chore to mow and try to keep green when I'd rather be doing just about anything else. Keeping Kentucky Bluegrass and these other non-native grasses green in 90+ degree drought summers is a special hell. Clover is so much hardier. If you don't want it to flower, just mow the tops off. Sit back, grab a cold drink, and enjoy a less stressful yard. Also, Nature's Seed has their own website for direct sale. They have wildflower seed mixes and single wildflower seed packages available. I will definitely buy other seeds from them now that I know the quality is there. Thanks for a great product!

Let me make the common complaint - Nothing grows in my mostly shaded yard! Half my grass died from my female border collie/lab mix dog peeing on it and choosing one path to trod to the fence over the last two years. I have tried different combos of grass seed, and also covered the seed with straw tack, and it which never grew. So much wasted money. I planted the first batch of clover seed near the end of March in a mostly shaded area. I raked it slightly then threw on the seed with my hands. I used about a quarter cup of the clover seed mixed with fescue for a four foot by two foot area completely barren of grass. I over-seeded it since nothing ever grows! The area is now a carpet of green, made up primarily of clover. I doubt the grass sprouting in the clover would be growing if I not for the clover. I read that clover is low traffic, aka not good for dogs, but also grows quickly and doesn’t need the insane preparation for grass seed. Mine has only been growing since The end of March, but it has held up to my dog so far. If you over-seed and create a very thick mat of clover along with the grass it will hold up.

I just bought another bag of this but wanted to write a review for anyone on the fence. BUY IT, BUT IT NOW!! It's only been one month and soooo much growth and improvement! Our side yard is incredibly soggy and poor draining. It's been a muddy mess despite adding nearly 12in of good soil, sod, and drainage. Literally the ONLY plant we can get to grow in a red twig dogwood that can handle the clay and the sog. I'll be adding more pics once we do more of our yard but we are soooo happy! Our last house had a gorgeous lawn that was mostly clover. The only reason ppl think clover is a weed is because a corporation developed a broad leaf weed killer that also happened to kill clover. Up until that point, clover was always part of grass mixes because it takes less water and is loads better for the soil. Clover doesn't burn from dog urine and it is pollinator friendly. We are in the PNW, zone 8a, and even with babying the ever loving crap out of our sod, it looked like a hot mess. Can't wait for the clover to truly take over 🙌

Grew, spread out & covered well. Remained green into late fall. Did not experience many bees around.

The bag arrived opened. Seeds everywhere. I planted them and nothing grew. Wasted water for nothing.

I have struggled to have a nice green looking yard here in NC without chemicals. Not anymore. This is the best thing ever for my yard. I just spread a little of it around late last summer after my yard turned brown and waited. It seemed to really take off after a rain and more came up again in this spring. I still had some bare spots so spread the rest and purchased another bag to spread where there were bare spots and weeds. It has filled in very nicely and choked out the weeds! It stays compact so requires less mowing and stays green and lush. I will NEVER plant grass seed again. I don't have a lot of foot traffic in my yard and have both trees and spots that bake during summer. It looks good in both places. Please continue to offer this product.

This seed has worked very well for me. We live in a wooded area with limited sunlight and hot, humid summers. This restricts the ability to grow grass. Over the years I have tried to provide a ground cover that will last the entire year. Nothing I tried worked until I decided to try clover. Mixed with perennial rye grass seed this has developed into a very good dense groundcover. Not only does it cover the ground under the trees, it also provides a food lot for rabbits, bees, birds and other critters. It's different from what we would call normal for a lawn but it looks good and holds up very well. Try it. You might like it.

I love this seed. Within two weeks of planing in April of 2024, I had a clover lawn in a section of my backyard where nothing seemed to grow. I reached out to the vendor customer service by email to ask questions about caring for the lawn, and they were super responsive and helpful. I have since purchased this product about 4 times and would purchase it again. The clover is a vibrant green and just beautiful looking.
