Fast germination
I’ve purchased this product twice - once direct from Outside Pride and again last week. I planted on Sunday with minimal soil prep and yesterday (Wednesday), I already had tons baby clovers that have germinated. For reference, I live in Colorado. Every year, I have to repair my grass because I also have three dogs. I do mix Scott’s Lawn Repair when I spread the clover seed as right now it is a mixed lawn and that particular Scott’s product has a mulch in it that changes colors when it’s dry so this helps me keep my seeds at the right moisture. But I’m hoping eventually to just have a clover lawn. The clover grows a beautiful green and it does come back after each winter. But the spots I have to repair are due to excessive (and not diluted because we don’t winter water unless it’s over 50 degrees) dog pee.I love this product and absolutely recommend!

Planted in September = green in November
JULY 2019 UPDATE: We haven’t watered or put any chemicals on our lawn! I have uploaded a picture showing our clover mix lawn and what a pretty shade of green it is compared to the neighbors grass lawn. We still need to mow once a week, but now there are hardly any clover flowers. The grass still dies when the dogs pee on it, but the clover does not. I’m super curious to see what happens during the dryer months of the summer when the lawns all turn brown. I just moved my star rating from four to five stars. This really is one of the best decisions that we have ever made. I will update again during the drought months.JUNE 2019 Update: We LOVE our lawn! Yes, we are getting little white flowers, but we can mow them away. As of right now, we have not yet trained it to stay short. We are mowing as often as a regular lawn. BUT, the dog pee doesn’t kill this. The dog pee still kills the grass. We haven’t watered it once yet. We have little to NO other weeds. But that being said, I bought a weeding tool in early spring and hand popped out all the dandelions, crab/Johnson grass and broad leaf weeds, they haven’t come back. I will update again during the drought months.UPDATE March 9, 2019. The third picture you see is our lawn now. We are very happy with our decision to go green and stop pouring chemicals on our lawn. I must say that our lawn is way greener than any of our neighbors lawns. We bought another bag, but haven’t put it down yet. We are going to use it in a few spots that were missed last year. My husband told me to buy it before they ran out, so I did. So far we are just using this in our backyard where our puppies play and go potty. I will keep updating. I’m waiting for the summer drought before moving it up to five stars, but as of now I’m completely happy.We spent $3,000 for sod last May that all died despite a $400 water bill. Since we have two new puppies, we decided not to treat it with chemicals. Our last dog died of cancer at age six, so we refuse to put down chemical fertilizers. Then my husband told me about clover and I said, “absolutely not!” He asked me to just read the article and then think about it. After reading it, I agreed it would be the best way to have a green lawn and still be healthy for our puppies and the environment. In September we planted one five pound bag along of clover with two 40 pound bags of grass seed in our back yard which is about 75 wide by 75 deep and covered it with some tacky straw. The grass came up right away, but petered out. The clover started coming up within five days, but stayed small and sparse for about six weeks. Now it’s November and we have had a couple of freezes and it’s a pretty green. The neighbors lawns have all started to die off, as well as the field behind us. I will post pictures of the color difference. I look forward to seeing what will happen this winter and next spring as well as the summer drought. I will keep this updated, mainly because the older I get the less I remember, so I will be able to look back on this and know whether or not to buy some more.The first picture shows our lawn up close with zero chemicals and the neighbors lawn on the other side of the fence with his “professional “ lawn care. The second picture shows the field behind us has all died off. This past summer, our new sod was as brown as that field. What you see in our lawn is 95 percent clover and very little grass. In fact, the brown you see is the grass.FOR REFERENCE: We live in upper middle Tennessee where the “soil” is mostly red clay.

Has Done Well but Unsure It's Really Micro
I've purchased 25 pounds of this over the past two years. Not entirely sure it's really "micro"clover at full maturity. It is currently very flowered even though it's cut at the lowest setting on our mower. I did expect flowering but this is described as having less than typical white clover and it seems to actually have more flowering. I'm just not convinced this isn't just regular white Dutch clover so I'm unsure I'll continue purchasing this expensive seed. I'm about to spread some white Dutch clover seed in weedy areas and will compare. However, it does germinate well. I suggest soaking the seeds in water for at least a day before spreading them. Our yard has very poor, rocky soil as it was previously a gravel pit and this has taken the best over various grasses I tried growing in past years. It is much more green than the sad grass we have - especially as summer drought hits. It actually been staying evergreen during winter here in west Michigan. One other great thing is that apparently grubs don't like to eat the roots of clover compared to grass and we definitely have grubs.

Great product, excellent shelf life and germination
What an amazing product!I bought this in 2021 and didn’t get around to planting it until spring of 2025.I really thought the seeds would be dead by then, but instead they sprouted within a week and my yard is filling in nicely with the cutest little leaves!!

This mini clover is amazing!
This mini clover is awesome!!! I scattered it over a barren patch of my yard where nothing was growing and this clover covered it in gorgeous green. It’s beautiful, lush and so easy to maintain. It grows quickly and even in hot temps, it’s thriving.

Not micro OR mini
I pulled my entire lawn out and replaced sections of it with this. On the pro side, it did grow in easily. But this was in no way a 'micro' or 'mini' clover. I've had it for close to a year now. The size of the leaves are exactly the same as regular clover, it makes a ton of flowers, and the stems grow to about 8 - 10 inches. I read that if you 'mow it regularly, it will stay low and the leaves will be smaller'. Well, duh. If you mow it regularly, of course it stays small because it's not allowed to grow to full size. But that is not what this claims. If you want full, thick coverage (which this does well), and you don't mind it being tall with a lot of flowers that attract bees, then go for it. But you can probably get it much cheaper at your local farm store than ordering from here. I spent the extra because I thought I was paying for a micro variety. This is not that.

Grew fast!
These seeds grew fast! I bought these micro clover seeds because I have a few spots in my lawn that will not grow grass due to a lot of clay. I didn't want to tear up the entire lawn to add sand and I just need my dogs paws to not be muddy. I added clover to those spots and it has been doing wonderful.
