Superior drought tolerance
The image to the left demonstrates the drought tolerance of Miniclover and its ability to pass that benefit on to turf grass. The highlighted plot is a mixture of typical lawn grass and miniclover, the surrounding plots are all different kinds of popular lawn grasses.
After establishment,none of the plots were watered for two weeks! The picture was taken at the end of that two weeks. As you can see, the plot with Miniclover stayed healthy and green — not only the Miniclover itself, but also the turf grass it was mixed with benefitted from the deep Miniclover roots.
White clover remains greener much longer than lawn grasses do, in both drought and cold conditions. Lawns containing Miniclover are a brighter green earlier and later in the year. It has a good summer color, as it is particularly resistant to drought because of its deep rooting system.
Growing Conditions:
Miniclover is adapted to a wide range of climatic and soil conditions. It tolerates wet and partially shady conditions, as well as drought. However, it can only tolerate wet conditions as long as the area is not flooded for long periods. The type of shade normally occurring in parks and on golf courses is not a problem for Miniclover or other dwarf, low growing, microclovers. White clover can also help aerate the soil, thus reducing concerns over soil compaction. White clover tolerates compacted soil better than lawn grass does. It has longer roots, enabling it to access water at deeper levels than most lawn grasses. If you\'reSold by outsidepride seed
