Nature’s Seed White Dutch Clover Seed, Drought Tolerant Ground Cover, Low Maintenance Garden Yard Lawn Alternative, 5000 sq ft

I originally was going to buy another brand until I read the reviews and saw some pretty disturbing comments made to a customer by the company's owner. That should really put companies on notice that ugly political and social commentary will cost you business. Their loss was my gain. I bought this instead and I really think I got a far superior product anyway. I basically just threw this down after mowing my grass to the nub for three weeks straight. I watered every day to keep the ground damp as we were going through a very hot and dry spell at that time, and within about 3 days I started seeing growth. I was a little heavy handed on dispersal on the first half of the lawn so growth isn't uniform but that's a user error. I'll likely just buy more and finish the lawn. It's now very noticeable that I have clover growing in the lawn. The yard is very noticably green and looks better than our neighbors who have burnt out Kentucky Bluegrass that was never meant to live through hot, dry summers. With more clover flowers, I've seen more native bees during just this season alone than in the past few years combined.I hate grass. It's a useless monoculture crop that has taken over as one of the primary crops by square mile in the US. Worse yet, it's just one more unenjoyable house chore to mow and try to keep green when I'd rather be doing just about anything else. Keeping Kentucky Bluegrass and these other non-native grasses green in 90+ degree drought summers is a special hell. Clover is so much hardier. If you don't want it to flower, just mow the tops off. Sit back, grab a cold drink, and enjoy a less stressful yard.Also, Nature's Seed has their own website for direct sale. They have wildflower seed mixes and single wildflower seed packages available. I will definitely buy other seeds from them now that I know the quality is there. Thanks for a great product!

I just bought another bag of this but wanted to write a review for anyone on the fence. BUY IT, BUT IT NOW!! It's only been one month and soooo much growth and improvement! Our side yard is incredibly soggy and poor draining. It's been a muddy mess despite adding nearly 12in of good soil, sod, and drainage. Literally the ONLY plant we can get to grow in a red twig dogwood that can handle the clay and the sog.I'll be adding more pics once we do more of our yard but we are soooo happy! Our last house had a gorgeous lawn that was mostly clover. The only reason ppl think clover is a weed is because a corporation developed a broad leaf weed killer that also happened to kill clover. Up until that point, clover was always part of grass mixes because it takes less water and is loads better for the soil. Clover doesn't burn from dog urine and it is pollinator friendly.We are in the PNW, zone 8a, and even with babying the ever loving crap out of our sod, it looked like a hot mess. Can't wait for the clover to truly take over 🙌

Our grass needs to withstand the small herd of 12 children from our in-home childcare center and I've been testing out different seeds last year I tried this seed out and the first thing that I struck me about this seed is the smell. The cloth bag the seeds come in lets the smell of the grass seed out of the bag. It smells like our old barley grainery from when I was a kid. I didn't even realize that the seeds I have been getting up until now, all of them have been coated, don't even smell like grass seeds. I love the nostalgic smell so much I'm half tempted to use it as a pillow... :D Seriously i feel like I'm in some 90's tide commercial.The seed grew well last year and even held up better than other years but I can't be sure it was just this seed. I've been increasing the bio-layer with letting leaves fall, mulching with a 2-1 sand mixture of our city compost, interestingly enough adding perlite (volcanic rock for aeration), plug aerating. Last year I even added clover which is a nitrogen fixer and it;s deeps roots help aeration! Our heavy clay rich dirt of the Pacific NW gets really compacted with the 24 1lb sledges(pre-k feet) but it seems like I'm doing something right as enough grass survives the rainy season to still look like a lawn when it is time to re-seed.I feel really good about our chemical free lawn that comes in a cloth bag that I have no problems letting kids play with. I also feel good about letting our own munchkin help with sowing the seeds as there are no chemical fungicides. Yep I like this grass seed.

I will raise my review to 4 stars. I still stand by my original assessment about the large white clover. However after a second month of heavy rain, it appears the smaller white Dutch clover has a longer germination period and is finally sprouting after 2 months. There is still the large Lado cover but the much smaller white Dutch is finally coming out thick.Original Review BelowThis is not the traditional small dense white Dutch clover. It is large like red clover with a woody stem. Due to a long rainy period, it was 2 weeks before I mowed my lawn. Clover plants were 8 to 10 inches tall with flowers just emerging. Doing a bit of research on “white clover”, I came across a website titled White, Ladino and Sweet clover. The Ladino large clover seems to be what I planted. Can’t see how this seed can be self propagating as the flowers occur over 6 inches in height and will be constantly mowed. Now stuck with a large bag of seed I can’t return. If you’re planting for foraging, knock yourself out. If you’re planting for a lawn, look elsewhere, this is not what you are looking for. I have been planting “soil conservation mix” lawn seed for fifty years.
