Description
White Clover is a low, creeping perennial clover that forms dense, foot‑tolerant mats through runners. It is ideal as a living mulch under fruit trees or for groundcover along paths. Its root nodules fix nitrogen, and its white flower heads provide reliable forage for bees.
Care instructions
Sow thinly from April to August and lightly rake in, as it is a light‑preferring species; keep the seedbed moist until germination. Mow or mulch as needed to maintain density and flowering. As a groundcover it requires little care; if it is to be replaced by a subsequent crop, incorporate it into the soil in the fall.
