Micro clover is a selected form of white clover (Trifolium repens) characterized by its smaller leaves and compact growth habit. It forms a dense, low-growing ground cover that integrates well into lawns and open spaces. This plant adapts to a wide range of climates and soil types, performing best in well-drained soils with moderate moisture. Micro clover establishes readily from seeds and maintains a uniform, fine-textured appearance, making it suitable for lawn blends, ground cover, and landscape use.
