Product Information
White Dutch Clover Seed is a perennial strain of white clover. White Dutch Clover is used for lawns, ground cover, erosion control, cover crop, and in pasture mixtures. White Dutch Clover usually matures between 4 to 8 in.
Many homeowners include White Dutch Clover in their lawn seed mixture because clover sprouts fast, and grows so dependably, that it's a valuable aid in getting a new lawn started.
Nodules on the roots fix nitrogen from the air. Actually, up to 1/3 the nitrogen your lawn needs can be obtained from White Dutch Clover! It grows vigorously even in poor clay subsoil around new home construction. The seed will withstand moderate drought conditions, and grow well, even on barren soil where nothing else wants to grow. It is winter-hardy and it stays so low you can just till it under during spring if you are using it for a cover crop.
One of the most popular reasons for establishing White Dutch Clover as an alternative lawn variety is because of the relative lack of water required compared to a standard grass lawn. White Dutch Clover requires less maintenance in general, and can also grow strongly in shade areas of your yard.
The one downside to White Dutch Clover as a lawn source is its propensity for white flowers (which give this clover its name). For a more pure "green" clover lawn, without flowers, consider Hancock's Micro Clover Seed. Of course, some may actually prefer the white flowers of White Dutch Clover, especially those looking to promote bee culture.
It is one of the most popular form of animal forage to this day. This applies to both livestock and as a source of food plot. Deer love White Dutch Clover!

Instructions
When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product's manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period.
When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippingsx. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.
