Dutch Clover

Dutch White Clover (Trifolium repens) – Perennial

A low-growing, long-lived clover with small white blooms that provide a steady nectar source throughout the season. Forms a dense, durable ground cover ideal for filling gaps in flowerbeds and along edges.

Sowing tips:

• Depth: surface sow to 3 mm max (lightly press in, do not bury)
• Germination: 7–14 days
• Spacing: sow dense for full ground cover

Coverage (dense sowing): ~30–40 sq ft per 20 g

Growing notes:

• Height: typically 4–8 inches
• Sun: full sun to partial shade
• Water: low to moderate; drought tolerant once established
• Soil: highly adaptable; performs well in most conditions

Helpful info:

• Spreads naturally to form a thick, weed-suppressing mat
• Blooms repeatedly through the season with regular moisture
• Fixes nitrogen, improving surrounding soil
• Tolerates light foot traffic (good for pathways and edges)
• Returns year after year with minimal maintenance

General Sowing (Urban / Flowerbeds)

• Timing: Spring or early fall
• Prep: Loosen topsoil (2–5 cm), remove weeds
• Seed: Broadcast evenly and press into soil
• Water: Keep soil moist until established

Tip: Do not cover deeply—most failures come from burying the seed too far.
