Peaceful Valley Low-Growing Clover Mix - Nitrocoated Seed (lb)

Low-growing clover mix for irrigated, mowed orchards and vineyards. Formerly called Tree & Vine Mix, this perennial legume cover crop delivers dependable soil improvement and durable ground cover in a variety of growing conditions.

Dual-Climate Adaptability

This blend combines Dutch white clover and Palestine strawberry clover, selected for adaptability, nitrogen-fixing power, and dense, weed-suppressing sod. Dutch white clover thrives in cool conditions and partial shade, while Palestine strawberry clover prefers warmth and full sun. Together they provide season-long performance across diverse climates and soil types with minimal maintenance.

Soil Health Benefits

Deep, fibrous roots help aerate compacted ground and improve water infiltration. As nitrogen-fixing legumes, these clovers work with soil microbes to enrich the soil naturally—reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers.

Built for Traffic and Tough Conditions

Low-growing and resilient, this mix tolerates tractor and foot traffic—even in wet weather. It’s ideal under tree canopies, between vineyard rows, or in tight garden spaces where a hardy living cover is needed.
