Peaceful Valley Low-Growing Clover Mix - Nitrocoated Seed (lb)
Peaceful Valley Low-Growing Clover Mix - Nitrocoated Seed (lb)
Popular Cover Crop for Orchards and Vineyards
Low-Growing Clover Mix is a powerhouse for improving soil health and structure while offering a resilient ground cover solution for diverse growing conditions. This thoughtfully crafted blend features Dutch White Clover and Palestine Strawberry Clover, each bringing unique benefits to your garden or farm.
Dutch White Clover thrives in cool weather and partial shade, making it an ideal choice for temperate climates or areas with limited sunlight. Its nitrogen-fixing capabilities enrich the soil, promoting healthier, more productive plants. Palestine Strawberry Clover complements this by preferring warmer climates, full sun, and neutral to alkaline soils. Together, they create a robust cover that adapts to various conditions, forming a dense sod through seed spread and runners.
This mix is particularly beneficial for improving soil structure. The deep root systems of clover help aerate compacted soil, enhancing drainage and water infiltration. Additionally, the dense growth suppresses weeds and minimizes soil erosion, providing a natural solution for maintaining soil integrity. Clover’s nitrogen-fixing ability works symbiotically with soil microbes, replenishing nutrients and reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.
Designed to support heavy tractor use, even in wet conditions, Low-Growing Clover Mix is perfect for pathways, orchards, vineyards, or as a green manure in garden beds. Whether you’re looking to protect and enrich your soil or establish a durable ground cover, this mix delivers exceptional results for sustainable and productive growing systems.

👍 quick delivery 👍
I'm impressed so far! Planted before monsoon rains and tons of clover is coming up! I'll keep planting it in more areas!
We use this mix as our backyard lawn replacement -- it does well, fills in fast, survives the fairly brutal long Maine winters and comes back quickly in the spring. Lovely mix of white and some pink flowers -- ours flowers in late spring and sporadically again in fall. Needs no mowing to stay the perfect height and provides a lovely saturated green color where neighbors' grass turns brown. Ordering more now for some touch-up areas.
We have planted this seed in both spring and fall and it seems to stick both landings. Recommended!
Super happy with the shipping speed, customer service, and product. Always a pleasure working with Peaceful Valley! I’ll be placing this clover mix between my garden rows to prevent erosion meanwhile adding nitrogen and increasing homes for beneficial insects!
