Sprouted super fast, easy to spread by hand, no special soil required - is filling in my "doggy pee spots" quite nicely
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
I sprinkled these in my outside pots and flower bed. They started sprouting in two days. I am very happy with them.

Planted clover for the rabbits in hopes they will slow down eating other plants.

I have been looking for clover seed everywhere and wasn't able to find it. This is not only a great addition to your lawn, but you can use it as "green manure" on unused garden beds - at the end of the season just till it in and you have a bed rich with nitrogen thanks to the clover. I'm ordering more to fill in some other parts of my yard.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
Came right up in clay soil. Using to patch lawn and hoping it will spread through entire lawn. Wanted a green, cool lawn with less work than grass. I am also sowing on a steep slope. Had to go to the internet for sowing instructions. Seed is tiny and it's suggested you mix with seed starter or soil before sowing. I just hand-cast it carefully and it looks pretty good. Started coming up in less than a week.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
Over seeded the lawn with white clover a few weeks ago. It's a little early to tell how well it works in choking out weeds but the clover is growing well.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
It's growing well so far

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
I started incorporating white clover into my small cottage lawn last year and I love it. It covered the bare spots quickly and is now almost fully integrated into the lawn. It cuts down on mowing and provides a softer look and feel to an all-grass lawn.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
I had great luck with this seed. I'd guess an overall germination rate of 85%+. A little time taken to dethatch or actually prepare my lawn likely would have yielded even better results (but this is my fault, not the products). Although my order did not come with instructions, a little research provided ample information.

Hoping for a no-mow lawn
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
Although I enjoy the look, and the fact that bees like it also, it is not good if you want to keep a nice edge to your beds. Needs constant clipping back. I would recommend with that warning.

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
I live in NYC and have a brownstone garden that my friends call "PARIS". I have bluestone flags as a path around the garden. After the snow and ice of winter the soil around my stepping stones gets muddy with spring rain. I have building shade from a large apartment building in the morning and a dense Norway Maple 2 houses to the west that casts afternoon shade. While I researched what to plant there I thought of planting clover as a placeholder. It was so WELL SUITED TO GROWING ON THE PATH BETWEEN THE STONES that I have reseeded it as needed for 20 years now and have bought it from GS since 1991. I use it each year to fill in other areas that get muddy over the winter and it attracts bees and butterflies and stabilizes that soil until I see what has survived the winter/spring weather and replant. SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A LAWN TO FIND A USE FOR CLOVER!!! PLANT IT FOR THE SMELL AND THE POLLINATORS IN BETWEEN YOUR STEPPING STONES!
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
I started off using clover for bear spots and I am mixing it all through the lawn, hopefully it will choke out my bad grass and give me a evergreen yard that needs no mowing and looks great!

I am growing dutch white clover as a lawn substitute. The seeds I got from here germinated well and I have had fewer problems with weed seed than I did with seed from other vendors. I highly recommend this source for clover seed.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
After our new pups tore up the lawn I was reseeding with grass and realized that what I needed was clover-- was so happy to find it at Gardeners' Supply. It germinated quickly and next summer the local bees will be very happy. My neighbor even wanted some. Hope it can withstand the rough & tumble play sessions of the dogs!

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
I overseed the lawn with this once a year or so. It's great to have clover in the lawn, as it fixes nitrogen and so the lawn does not require fertilizer. And very attractive little flowers in the lawn.

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
We were putting in a whole new lawn in the front and I love the way the clover looks. Doesn't get too tall and chokes outs weeds. Looks beautiful and was easy to to seed and grow.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
After eliminating white clover from my lawn a number of years ago, I now know that it is extremely important for sustaining our disappearing pollinators, including bees, butterflies & insects. We should spread the word that this is not a "weed" but something that our food production depends upon. No pollinators, no fruit, vegetables, etc. See Doug Tallamy's Bringing Nature Home. I intend to use it by mixing it with grass seed and filling in some empty spots in my lawn.

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
so far so good. my intent is to use it to fill bare spots in my lawn and choke out other weeds. the bare spot idea seems to be working, the jury is still out on the weeds.

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
I sowed the clover seed as soon as it arrived. I didn't even get one sprig to sprout. I ordered from here because of the reviews that raved about the wonderful instructions that came with their order. I got no instructions. I got two zip lock bags in a cardboard box. I thought, 'well no instructions, how difficult can it be to spread clover seed'. Evidently I needed some guidance.

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
This product was surprisingly easy to use even without planting instructions. Two different gardeners gave me two different methods for planting. The first said to prepare the soil, the second said to simply broadcast the seed over the intended area. I did a test sample using both methods. My results: The broadcast method works best on level ground (even where there is some grass although it can't be too thick). The ground prep method works best on slopes with straw or another light ground cover initially. It turns out that I actually need to use both methods because of the way my yard is hardscaped. But I'm pleased to have a nice mixture of grass and clover in just a few weeks.

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
The seeds simply did not grow--much to my disappointment. I followed instructions, but no results. The grass seed I sowed came along nicely.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
I purchased this to help fill in my yard. I am hoping this will help with the trails that seem to appear in the same spots year after year. I threw this out into my yard by hand when the forecast was calling for rain off and on all week. It is sprouting up everywhere. I am very pleased with this product so far. I can't wait until it fills out!

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
Adding clover to my lawn has boosted the nitrogen in the soil with out the use of fertilizers. My lawn grass is much healthier and greener growing along side of the clover. The white clover seed was easy to "over seed" over the existing lawn and has come back strong through two Wisconsin winters.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
Planted clover in side yard where grass has trouble growing to celebrate Earth Day
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
We live at the end of a city so many of the city signs are in front of our house - speed zones, fire hydrant, welcome signs, etc. Mowing around all these things was annoying - we dug up the grass around these items and planted the clover - it sprouted quickly and appears to be filling in nicely. This will give us pretty covering without constant trimming. We also put some of the seed (one package covers a lot of area!) throughout the lawn - the bees love it and it's so pretty to look at. Plus we have a healthy lawn and no herbicides!
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
I had many areas that were thin with grass and using this helped to fill in some of the spots as well as helping the lawn become more dense.

I have bald clay soil with no nutrients that I have had no luck in turning into a lawn, but this clover seems to be doing well and turning it into a little clover patch.

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
I had been having trouble finding clover seed to add to my lawn and mix in with grass seed for use in bare spots in the lawn. Glad to have found clover seed again. I planted some with grass seed a week ago and both are already coming up.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
I used this clover seed as an alternative to grass in 2 small lawn areas in our south facing backyard. We live in Utah and grass requires a lot of maintenance here. The seed germinated quickly. It has filled in well in half the yard, the other half has very nasty clay soil and is taking longer, but had a nice germination rate. It has been 4 weeks so far. It is very green and pretty. No complaints so far... let's see how it does through the hot, dry summer and cold winter.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
We had some sparse areas in the lawn due to construction fences and reworked water lines, so I mixed in the white clover seed with some lawn seed. The result is lovely -- thick green lawn with tiny white clovers. The lawn stayed greener longer, through a dry summer, and I never had to water it. I bought more white clover this year to seed through the rest of my lawn. I like that it makes the lawn healthier and stays green through dry periods.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
One of the few things that stays green in my drought ravaged Southern lawn. And I know that it's putting nutrients into the soil.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
My back lawn has not been fertilized regularly for years. I planted clover as an experiment last year and it was wonderful! It comes up deep green very quickly. I was a little worried about attracting bees, but I did not have that problem. I ordered more this year for a new lawn area that I am establishing.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
I just tossed it out into the existing lawn and it is doing great things.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
Thank you for supplying clover. It is a great way to go green. It is drought tolerant, easy to grow, and a rich green color. A great way to enhance your lawn.

I had good germination and coverage. I look forward to having bloom in the Spring and supporting my neighbor's bee hives.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
Where we live in Wi. we have very poor sandy soil.About the best growing plant around is sand burrs. I purchased some white clover from you a couple years ago.It is still doing very well. We have since decided to expand our lawn. My recent purchase of white clover is already growing.I have already convinced my sister to order some.She only lives a couple miles fro us and has the same type soil. She would like better info on planting and best time of year to do so.Thank you so much
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
Clover requires less water and less mowing than grass, and mixed lawns are healthier.
Despite sitting in my garage for a year, the seeds germinated well.

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
We used the sprouted seed as a seasonal filler for our Augustine grass and it maintained a hardy green oasis that is so desperately needed in our desert environment. Water is an issue here and this seed got by on minimal timed watering. Our spoiled puppy luxuriated in "her" space.

I found this to be a perfect product. I love the look of clover, and this performed a two-fold result. A fast growing clover, and filled in the bare and scarce parts of the lawn.

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
the clover was easy to spread and it grew easily! i spread a lot of the seeds along my chainlink fence and the clover has kept out a variety of weeds that normally spread thru the fence from the adjacent property. the rest of the seed, i spread throughout and it has blended in nicely with the other greenery (i wouldn't call it a lawn ;-)

Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
Worked right away but over time noticed a lot of clover growth in the lawn. Did add green immediately but now I have a large area that is clover more than grass. Wouldn't recommend if you're a perfectionist about your lawn appearance.

Product used for germination experiments and tropisms. Germinated quickly for student use.

Tried on existing Grass and it needed several seeding to do the job. Where there was little to no Grass it grows fast with a little watering.
Comments about White Clover Seed, 1/2 Lb.:
Nothing like sweet smelling clover during the spring and then healthy lawns later.
