Clover seeds produce low-growing, spreading plants with a dense, mat-forming growth habit and trifoliate leaves. These plants are well adapted to a wide range of climates and are commonly used for ground cover, lawns, pasture, and soil improvement. Clover thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs best in well-drained soil with moderate moisture. Suitable for lawns, meadows, and agricultural use, it establishes quickly and helps improve soil fertility.
