New Zealand White Clover - Nitrocoated Seed (lb)

Trifolium repens var. Perennial legume cover crop.

White Clover is our best-selling perennial clover, often planted in lawns, irrigated orchards, vineyards, and pathways. Similar to Dutch White Clover but slightly taller, it grows 8–10" high and establishes quickly within 5–10 days. Adaptable and dependable, it fixes up to 165 pounds of nitrogen per acre while improving soil structure, suppressing erosion, and attracting beneficial insects. Thriving in moist, well-drained soils, it tolerates a wide pH range from acidic to moderately alkaline, provided lime, phosphate, and potash are adequate. Sensitive to synthetic nitrogen inputs, it performs best in fall or spring plantings and excels in high-traffic and irrigated systems.
