Sowing instructions - Lawn Clover
Seed your own luck! Lawn Clovers are small leafed white clovers which are drought tolerant. With Lawn Clover you can safe on fertilizer because clovers capture nitrogen from the atmosphere, fixate it in the soil and make it available for grass growth. By doing so, you will create a self-sufficient lawn which is drought tolerant, dense and will give weeds less chance. As a bonus your lawn will suffer less and recover faster from damages and pet urine spots. Last but not least, clover will help to increase biodiversity; it’s a sustainable choice!
