Cooler temperatures, increased seasonal moisture, and reduced heat stress create an ideal window for establishing clover before winter.

WHY WHITE CLOVER?

• More resilient through dry spells. Once established, white clover is remarkably forgiving when rainfall becomes inconsistent.

• Tolerant of periodically wet ground. It prefers moisture and handles the swings between wet and dry conditions that can leave traditional turf struggling.

• It’s dog urine resistant. Dogs, foot traffic and everyday wear inevitably create thin areas. Clover’s creeping growth allows it to spread and fill available space.

• It fixes nitrogen. As a legume, white clover works with soil bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form—one reason it has long been grown alongside grasses.

• It feeds pollinators. Allow it to flower and the lawn becomes a source of nectar and pollen for bees and other beneficial insects.

• It’s edible. Properly identified white clover leaves and flowers are edible, and the flowers can also be dried for tea. Harvest only from untreated, uncontaminated areas.

• It grows beyond perfect full-sun conditions. White clover performs beautifully in sun while tolerating some partial shade.

• It’s perennial. Once established, it spreads through creeping stems and can persist year after year.

And perhaps best of all: you don’t have to replace your lawn to grow it.

SOW IT NOW. ENJOY IT NEXT YEAR.

Fall gives white clover something spring planting cannot: time.

Instead of waiting until next year’s bare patches, weeds, heat and dry weather are already arriving, you can begin establishing clover now while conditions are favorable.

Mow. Scatter the seed over existing grass and bare soil. Ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Keep it moist while it establishes.

No lawn renovation required.
