White Dutch Clover

White Dutch Clover is a valuable, fast-growing grass aid when getting a new lawn started or when overseeding an existing lawn. This variety of white clover seeds will grow vigorously even in poor clay subsoil like the kind that might surround the construction of a new home. The clover's roots feature nodules that pull nitrogen from the air and into the soil, providing a third of the nitrogen that your grass needs! A natural weed suppressor requiring little maintenance, dutch white clover is an easy addition to your lawn. The 'white' in dutch white clover stands for the delicate white flowers this plant produces, which help to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies to your garden. For over-seeding and existing lawns, sow 4-6 oz of seed per 1,000 sq ft of ground. 4 oz of seed per 1,000 sq ft should be plenty if sown at the same time as grass seed. Dutch White Clover will sprout in 7-10 days and have your garden fresh and healthy in no time!
