Micro Clover is a compact, small-leaved variety of white clover known for its low-growing habit and dense green foliage. It is commonly grown as a lawn alternative, ground cover, and companion plant in garden landscapes. Its nitrogen-fixing roots help improve soil fertility, while its spreading growth creates an attractive green carpet in suitable planting areas.
Produces small, attractive green leaves that create a dense, low-growing ground cover.
Its nitrogen-fixing root nodules help add nitrogen to the soil through a natural biological process.
Can be mixed with compatible lawn grasses to create a green, clover-based lawn.
Produces small white flowers that can attract bees and other beneficial pollinators.

Yes. Micro Clover can be grown as a lawn alternative or mixed with compatible turfgrass varieties. It creates a low-growing green cover and can help improve soil nitrogen through biological fixation. Its appearance and durability depend on climate, soil conditions, and lawn maintenance.
The required amount depends on whether you are establishing a pure Micro Clover lawn or overseeding an existing grass lawn. Follow the seed supplier's recommended seeding rate for the specific cultivar and application. Prepare the soil properly and distribute seeds evenly for better coverage.
Yes. Micro Clover forms a beneficial relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in its root nodules. These bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into forms the plant can use. Some nitrogen can become available to surrounding grasses through root turnover and decomposing plant material.
