Bring color and function to your landscape with Dutch White Clover (Trifolium repens). This vibrant annual legume isn’t just beautiful—it works hard in your soil. Deep green blooms in late spring draw in pollinators, while its roots naturally fix nitrogen, improving soil health without synthetic fertilizers.

Sometimes called “Dutch white clover,” white Dutch clover is one of the lower-growing clover varieties – making it a strong candidate as a grass alternative or as an addition to turfgrass lawns.

Whether you’re looking to enrich a veggie garden, protect bare soil, or create a pollinator-friendly patch, micro clover delivers. It grows 4-8 inches tall, and while this clover grows in hardiness zones 4 to 9, it can be planted as a perennial in the North and winter annual in the South. It’s also commonly grown in vineyards and orchards, as farmers grow it to improve soil and reduce erosion.
