If you want to bring colour, life, and pollinators to your lawn without a lot of effort, Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum) is a great place to start. This non-GMO seed oversows directly into existing grass, produces vivid red blooms from May through June, and quietly improves your soil at the same time. It also makes a genuinely thoughtful gift for gardeners, nature lovers, or anyone working toward a more sustainable yard.

🌿 Features

  • 🌱 Non-GMO Seed: Pure Crimson Clover (Trifolium incarnatum) — no grass fillers, no synthetic coatings.
  • ♻️ Compostable Packaging: Comes in a kraft pouch you can toss straight into the compost bin once it's empty.
  • 🌸 Vivid Red Blooms: Flowers from spring into late summer, reaching 6–10" tall at peak bloom.
  • 🐝 Pollinator Magnet: Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects — a reliable nectar and pollen source throughout the season.
  • 🌍 Nitrogen Fixer: Naturally improves soil health by fixing nitrogen, which supports surrounding grass and flowering plants.
  • ☀️ Flexible Sun Requirements: Thrives in full sun to part shade.
  • 💧 High Drought Tolerance: Once established, handles dry spells well with very little intervention.
  • 🧹 Low Maintenance: No need to remove existing grass before seeding.
  • 📍 USDA Hardiness Zones: Best suited for Zones 6–9. Grows as an annual in Zone 5 or colder, with the potential to reseed itself.

💚 Benefits

  • 🏡 A Lawn That Works for You: Crimson Clover naturally enriches the soil while adding seasonal colour — less fertiliser needed, more life underfoot.
  • 👨‍👩‍👧 Safe for the Whole Family: Kid and pet friendly, so you can let the garden do its thing without worry.
  • 🦋 Support Local Ecosystems: Every bloom feeds pollinators and helps reduce your property's overall environmental footprint.
  • 🎁 A Gift Worth Giving: Practical, eco-friendly, and genuinely useful — a lovely gift for gardeners or anyone looking to make their outdoor space more sustainable.
  • 📦 Simple to Get Started: Designed to be overseeded directly into existing lawns — no heavy prep work or ground clearing required.

🌱 How to Use

  • Mow your existing grass short before spreading seed.
  • Hand-spread the seed evenly across the lawn, one pinch at a time.
  • Water thoroughly after seeding and keep the area consistently moist during germination.
  • With regular watering, expect germination within 1–2 weeks.
  • For dormant seeding: scatter over fresh snow or frozen ground in late fall or winter.
  • For spring seeding: wait until soil temperatures reach around 60°F and the risk of frost has passed — mid-May for upper Midwest states.
  • Note: Flowering lawns can take 6–24 months to fully establish, particularly in thick or heavily fertilised grass.

About Flawn Seed Kits

Join the Flowering Lawn Revolution!

Tired of constant mowing, watering, and fertilizing? Flawn Seed Kits offers a simple, beautiful alternative: flowering lawns that are low-maintenance, eco-friendly, and pollinator-friendly. By transforming your traditional turf into a vibrant mix of clover and low-growing wildflowers, you can reduce your carbon footprint, improve soil health, and support the environment—right from your own backyard.

Our Roots
Flawn Seed Kits is a small, family-run business based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Founded by horticulturist and lawn care expert Anthony Nied, our mission is to improve quality of life and environmental health by eliminating harmful lawn chemicals and bringing pollinators back to our yards.

Anthony’s journey started in 2010, working in conventional lawn care. After realizing the dangers of daily exposure to toxic pesticides, he knew he had to make a change. “When I couldn’t hug my kids after work because I was covered in chemicals, I knew there had to be a better way,” he recalls.

That better way became Safe & Simple Organic Lawns, focused on soil health and organic practices. In 2018, Anthony began experimenting with clover and native flowers to naturally enrich lawns. The results were undeniable: healthier lawns, less maintenance, and a buzzing return of butterflies and bees.

Our Mission
At Flawn Seed Kits, we're on a mission to:

Reduce chemical use in lawn care

Support pollinators and biodiversity

Cut carbon emissions and resource waste

Make lawn care simpler and safer for people, pets, and the planet
