About White Clover Alternative Lawn Seed Shaker
Trifolium repens
White Clover, distinct from its crimson and red relatives, is a low-growing perennial with white, globe-like flower clusters that bloom from spring to summer, attracting bees and butterflies. Known for its nitrogen-fixing properties, it improves soil health and thrives in well-drained soils, tolerating light foot traffic. Ideal for lawns, ground cover, and garden beds, this sun-loving, shade-tolerant plant suppresses weeds and serves as a practical filler between vegetable rows or under taller plants.
