Why You’ll Love It

Microclover is a low-maintenance alternative lawn seed that improves soil health, reduces fertilizer use, and blends seamlessly with grass. Compared to traditional turf grass, microclover requires less water, less fertilizer, and fewer chemical inputs.

As a low-growing, nitrogen-fixing legume, microclover naturally feeds surrounding grasses, creating a denser, healthier lawn without synthetic fertilizers. Its small leaf size blends beautifully into turf, adding durability, drought resilience, and a rich green color that lasts from spring through fall.

Microclover can be used on its own as an alternative lawn or added to existing grass seed mixes to improve soil health, fill thin areas, and support pollinators — all while saving time, water, and money.

Planting Overview

Plant Type: Low-growing perennial legume
Leaf Size: Very small
Sun Exposure: Full sun to full shade
Water Needs: Moderate during establishment; low once established
Maintenance: Very low

Growing Zone

Microclover is a hardy, widely adaptable species that grows successfully across most of the United States. Its tolerance for different soils, climates, and light conditions makes it a reliable choice in many regions.

Ideal Climate Regions:
1 · 2 · 3 · 4 · 5 · 7
(Region 6 with irrigation)

Composition

This product contains 100% microclover seed (Trifolium repens var. microclover), selected for small leaf size, uniform growth, and lawn compatibility.

Microclover performs exceptionally well when:

Used alone for a soft, flowering alternative lawn
Added to grass seed mixes at ~5% by weight
Paired with fine fescues, EcoSeed, or Ultimate Clover

Planting Instructions

Bare soil vs. overseeding matters — but both are possible.

Microclover can be planted into prepared bare soil or overseeded into existing lawns. The best approach depends on your starting conditions and desired results.

Bare Soil Planting

Ideal for new lawns or full lawn replacements
Remove existing vegetation and loosen the top 1–2 inches of soil
Broadcast seed evenly and lightly press into the soil surface

Overseeding

Excellent for thickening thin lawns and filling bare spots
Mow existing grass low before seeding
Lightly rake to ensure good seed-to-soil contact

Timing & Establishment

Spring or early fall planting is ideal
Keep soil evenly moist during establishment
Reduce watering once plants are established

What to Expect

Germination typically occurs within 7–14 days
Lawn color deepens as nitrogen becomes available to companion plants
Flowering remains subtle and low-growing

Loved these seeds! The micro-clover came in very quickly and we now have beautiful coverage on areas where we had none before.

Everywhere I seeded germinated right away. The clover is beautiful!

Product is great but the shipping times are insanely slow. For such a small package there is no way it shouldbtakes weeks just to ship the product.

Still a little early to evaluate coverage, but the microclover has sprouted really well and as it fills in, it appears as if this will accomplish exactly what I had hoped for. I'm very happy.

Healthy germination and quickly fills in patches in the lawn with thick green color. Looking forward to progressively overseeing each fall / spring and hopefully replacing the grass. Zone 6b; part shade / part sun lawn; poor drainage.

The weather has not been cooperating so we are off to a slow start. The clover is starting to come in now. We have a half acre yard and we have planted white dutch clover, micro-clover, and the low grow no mow grass and clover mix. We are trying to get red creeping thyme to grow in our driveway that has permeable pavers. We are going for a pollinator yard with native trees, shrubs, and clover. Thank you.

Seeds arrived in good shape and I planted after preparation of the soil (very sandy in Florida). Germination was very good and I was thinking I would have a clover lawn in no time. However, the seedlings did not survive in areas where there was sun. Florida (Tampa) can be hot, dry, and sunny in April, so I watered and watered. I am not sure if I watered too much after the seeds sprouted or if the hot sun burned them. I still have some seedlings in shade. I am thinking I will try to replant in the fall and we will see what happens. Wish me luck!

So far so good! The leaves are now on the trees shading a lot of our back yard. It will be interesting to see how well it does without as much sun. Fingers crossed!

My Microclover seeds grew fast and look great. My lawn remained green all summer and all winter long. I live in (Zone 7). Great company and great customer service.

Love the micro clover! Great success with germination and now I look forward to a lush clover cover.

Superb. They sprouted very easy and look cool so far in my pot. Outside once the cold gave way to some warmer weather, I seen the little sprouts showing their heads.

Helping cover up bare spots

Great, thank you

Grows easily in areas that are high traffic. Looks beautiful when blended with my low grow grass seed.

Looking forward to planting it

Great packaging

I bought this in October and couldn’t be happier.

I like how it’s taken to the open soil around steps I had installed. I also received advice from your customer service on protecting this young clover through freezes. Can’t wait to plant my wildflowers next spring.

The bags seem small but I'm excited to help the soil around my home

My microclover seeds germinated well, and very quickly(7 days). Hoping to get established before frost!

Package arrived on time with clear instructions and the micro clover has already begun to sprout after planting it only three days ago. I am very satisfied with this product.

This stuff grew quickly and covered bare spots well. I like that it is shorter than regular clover so does not look like a weed. It is actually a very pretty green!

It’s growing! We are anxiously awaiting it mature and cover our lawn.

easy to grow

The seeds germinated perfectly and we love the bright green, shorter growth habit.

Super easy to use and I'm so happy with what has grown so far! I plan on buying more!

Shipped quickly. I’m going to oversee this over grass I killed. Will update my satisfaction level afterwards.

Honestly I started my first batch a month ago but hot hotthis summer and my watering wasn’t good. I do have a few little spots coming up. Just bought 2lbs and will wait til it cools off more

Microclover is perfect for my lawn which is not irrigated. I wanted a low growth alternative to grass and this mixes well with both the existing Dutch white clover and perennial rye grass.

Tired of pouring so much time and money into my lawn. So pleased to find Earthwise seed as a grass alternative that is way more natural to my soil—and beautiful. The microclover amazed me, quickly coming up in the hot summer. Can't wait for the fall growing season.

The micro clover is perfect!!

Love the micro clover. It's working great in my yard. I just planted Crimson clover at the edge of my yard for pollinators.
