I love this stuff! We have 5 1/2 acres in Southern California and it germinates very quickly and is very nice to look at. I haven’t mowed it yet but I understand there’s no problem goes back nicely. You just need to leave 2 to 3 inches.

We have had so many problems with our back yard garden. We have long strips of red mud and muddy banks on either side of our patio. Due to rain run off and flooding due to poor drainage in a ditch that runs behind our property we have been getting flooding. We fixed our flooding issue but not matter what we do we could not get grass to grow. I mean we have put down tons of seeds. And what little grass we do have looks pitiful and no amount of fertilizer helps it. So we decided to transform our entire back yard and muddy banks into a clover yard. I was so worried that they would not grow and would get washed away before they germinated. But in just 2 days we had 1in sprouts and now they are growing bigger everyday. These seeds are good quality and the coating I think gave them a better chance at germination. We got 100% growth from every seed. We planted the crimson clover on the muddy banks and along our kennel fence and walk way. Crimson clover grows fast and it is a beneficial winter food for wildlife. We planted european clover what you normally find in your yard in our main area of the back yard from the same company. I highly recommend these seeds. The best part about a clover yard is with a little patients you will turn your yard into a low maintenance no need for mowing wild life oasis. It feeds deer, rabbits bees and butterfly's clover yards along with planting native wild flowers will turn your yard into a wildlife sanctuary and you can enjoy the green all winter long depending on what zone you live in. We will be purchasing more to add to what is already growing. And the best part about clover is it puts nitrogen into the soil along with other nutrients and leaves the soil in a better condition than it was prior to you planting it. I would give them 4 thumbs up if I had two extra hands!

I had to cut my sod back away from the sidewalk. This Mojave heat is hard on my TTTF. I made Kentucky 31 plugs to go in the bare space. K31 does a little better in the heat. I’m not a Bermuda fan. Crimson Clover made an excellent cover for them protecting from the cold and wind, giving them a chance to grow. Crimson Clover only last about 3 weeks after the bloom here. The heat is too much. I did pre-germ them, not sure if I needed too. I had planted a practice run the year before. Everything sprouted just fine, except an area that didn’t get watered in as well as the rest.

This review is for Zone 5 at >9,500 feet in Colorado. This variety of clover needs temperatures over 60* to germinate. Because nighttime temperatures where I live don’t get close to that temperature until July, I initially thought this variety was going to fail. But after July, the seeds started to germinate, and by late August I saw the first blooms. By mid-September I had lovely crimson blossoms everywhere—they filled in where the earlier-blooming wildflowers had started to die off. The elk, deer, and rabbits love it, so larger patches I planted never bloomed because the animals kept it cropped. But areas where the seeds were sparsely intermixed with wildflowers, the crimson clover has flourished, and the hummingbirds love them. I docked one star because I contacted the company after re-seeding in the spring with no plants coming up, and they never responded to my inquiry. The product gets 5 stars, the company gets 2.

I normally add compost and cover with cardboard During the winter. I decided to throw some of these seeds down just to see what happened. It's far too cold.I thought they would sprout in spring but they are growing EVERYWHERE i put them

Some came up , not as much as expected , however , 50/50 is my review

I know I had the perfect weather but all I can say is I planted it on Sunday, temps in the upper 70s, a nice slow rain Monday, and it started popping up on Thursday. This seed is awesome. Next spring the color is great and the early bees love then.

I planted in October, had a low green carpet all winter, and in May, a yard covered in red flowers and many honey bees! Planting in late fall provides a cold stratification for the seed, and moisture for the seed with winter precipitation. Because it is "coated, one can easily see where the seeds are distributed. I used a hand held seed spreader with a crank arm to evenly distribute the seeds. This was my third year of planting this seed. I would caution people to be wiser than I was the fist time. This is much too tall to be mowed with a lawn mower, so whatever you plant, unless you have animals to graze on the clover, you will need to cut it down after it dries up in late June. I have planted mine in "waves" after creating a pattern with a garden hose, to follow the design of. I planted on top off white dutch clover that was spread first, so that once I cut back the crimson clover, there would be white dutch clover come up beneath. This was done as part of a large pollinator garden.

I had no issue with other seeds being mixed in. The clover seeds are fresh and quickly sprouted. Very happy with purchase.

I sprinkled them on my lawn, and was told some of my neighbors were stealing the dead heads to plant their own.

Certainly not micro. Great profuse clover. Understood to be annual. Not perennial.

Crap seed. Nothing grew.

Large print makes you believe it’s just clover seed but, it’s mixed hay and clover . Other wise the clover grew great. Sadly also with other things when I just wanted clover .
