Microclover® Brand White Clover (Coated)
Microclover® brand white clover was developed for use in lawns. It grows in wet and shade conditions, provides nitrogen fixation and drought tolerance, which requires less fertilizer and longer periods between irrigation. To maintain its microstructure, Microclover® must be regularly mowed or it will grow to 6-7 inches tall.
For mixtures, it is well-suited to fine-leaved, dense, high quality perennial ryegrasses. In dry areas or to combat chafer grub infestation, turf-type tall fescue is an optimal choice. Slender creeping red fescue and chewings fescue are also good partners where they find equilibrium with the Microclover®.
Benefits of Including Microclover® in Your Lawn Mix
Here are the benefits of including Microclover® in your lawn mix:
- Nitrogen Fixation:
One of the most significant benefits of Microclover® is its ability to fix nitrogen from the air into the soil. This means that it naturally provides nutrients for the surrounding grasses, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and promoting healthier soil. - Drought Tolerance:
Microclover® is more drought-tolerant than many grasses. It retains moisture in the soil and helps maintain a greener lawn during dry periods, making it especially beneficial for BC’s summers, which can sometimes be dry. - Low Maintenance:
Microclover® stays green and healthy with minimal care. It requires less frequent mowing compared to grass, as it grows slowly and maintains a low height, especially in mixes with grass species. Additionally, it reduces the need for chemical inputs. - Weed Control:
Microclover® forms a dense mat, which can help to suppress weeds naturally by shading out weed seeds and reducing their ability to germinate. - Environmental Benefits:
Using Microclover® reduces reliance on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, which can contribute to pollution in waterways. It also improves soil health by adding organic matter through its root system, enriching the soil over time. - Aesthetic Appeal:
Microclover® has a fine texture and small leaves, making it a visually appealing addition to a lawn. It creates a more uniform, green look without being as invasive as traditional white clover. - Reduced Lawn Fertilization Needs:
Because of its nitrogen-fixing ability, Microclover® reduces the need for additional fertilizer applications, saving on costs and reducing environmental impact.
