If you're tired of constantly mowing, watering, and fertilising, Micro Clover might just change the way you think about your lawn. These non-GMO Micro Clover seeds grow into a dense, fine-leafed ground cover that's naturally low-maintenance, genuinely good for the soil, and safe for bare feet. A thoughtful gift for families, eco-conscious homeowners, or anyone who'd rather spend weekends enjoying their yard than working on it.
✨ Features
- 🌿 Tiny Leaf Variety: Leaves grow to about 1/4 the size of standard Dutch White Clover — creating a neat, dense, uniform lawn with a naturally tidy look.
- 🐝 Low-Sting & Family Friendly: Mowed regularly at 2–3 inches, it produces fewer flowers near the surface, which means far fewer bees at ground level. Great for kids and pets playing outside.
- 🌱 Natural Nitrogen Fixer: Micro Clover feeds your soil by pulling nitrogen from the air and putting it back into the ground — so once it's established, synthetic fertilisers become a thing of the past.
- 💧 Drought Tolerant: Once established, it needs watering only during extended dry spells, significantly cutting your water use.
- 🚫 Pure Seeds, No Fillers: Only high-quality, pure Micro Clover seeds — no grass fillers or bulking agents that dilute coverage.
- 🌍 Perennial & Resilient: A hardy perennial rated for USDA Hardiness Zones 3–9. Grows well in full sun through to shade, and adapts to clay, silt, loam, and sandy soils.

🌱 What To Expect
With regular watering, Micro Clover typically germinates within 1–2 weeks, with ground cover filling in over the first couple of months. Consistent moisture after seeding is key to a strong, even establishment. When mowed regularly, it rarely blooms — but if you let it grow, it produces small flowers that pollinators love.
📋 How To Get Started
- Prepare: No need to remove existing grass. Mow your lawn very short (0.5–1 inch) and lightly rake the surface to loosen the soil.
- Spread: Hand-spread the seeds evenly across your lawn, one pinch at a time, for consistent coverage.
- Water: Water lightly but frequently after seeding — the goal is to keep the soil and emerging seedlings from drying out.
🗓️ Seeding Timing: Sow in spring, summer, or fall. For dormant seeding, spread in late fall on frozen ground or over fresh snow. In spring, wait until soil temperatures reach around 55°F (late April to early May in the upper Midwest). Avoid seeding just before hot, dry stretches. Designed for overseeding into existing grass — increase the seeding rate for bare soil areas.
🛠️ Maintaining Your Lawn
- ✂️ Mowing: Keep at 2–3 inches to maintain tidy leaves and limit flower production. Adjust frequency once established.
- 🚫 No Pesticides: Avoid pesticide weed or insect killers. Hand-weed where needed.
- 💧 Watering: Minimal once established — only during extended dry periods.
- 🌾 Fertiliser: Rarely needed. Micro Clover naturally replenishes soil nitrogen over time.
- 🌸 Pairs Well With: Fine Fescue (Low Mow) Grass, Crimson Clover, Self-Heal, Creeping Thyme.
