Composition: Trifolium pratense | Trifolium incarnatum | Trifolium repens Role: Nitrogen-Fixing Groundcover Zones: 4–10 (Perennial) Maintenance: Negligible
The manicured grass lawn is a mid-century mistake. It is a thirsty, sterile monoculture that demands endless labor for zero ecological return. It is time to evolve.
This Tri-Color Clover mix is not merely seed; it is an act of botanical rebellion. Designed to replace—or aggressively colonize—your existing turf, this blend transforms a "yard" into a flowering sward. It combines the height of Medium Red Clover, the vibrancy of Crimson Clover, and the density of Dutch White Clover into a single, self-sustaining ecosystem.
It requires less water, less mowing, and zero chemicals. It turns your property from a green desert into a buzzing, pollinator-friendly sanctuary.

The Curator’s Notes:
-
The Strategic Blend: This is a curated "Tri-Force" of legumes:
- Medium Red: The perennial vertical element, blooming pink at 8–12 inches.
- Crimson: The vivid annual that provides immediate gratification and color.
- Dutch White: The tactical ground infantry that stays low, filling gaps and crowding out weeds.
- The Nitrogen Engine: Unlike grass, which steals nutrients, clover fixes nitrogen from the air and returns it to the soil. You are essentially planting fertilizer.
- The Winter Hack: For the strategist who prefers to work smarter, not harder: utilize "dormant seeding." Broadcast the seed directly over fresh snow in late winter. The melting snow will pull the seed into the soil, priming it for spring germination without you lifting a shovel.
- The Timeline: A proper ecosystem is not built in a day. While germination is rapid (1–2 weeks), a fully established, lush flowering carpet is a 6–24 month investment. Nature takes her time; so should you.
