White Clover Planting
White clover is best planted in spring or summer, but can grow if planted during the fall as well. It often pops up its heart-shaped leaves in gardens, and may be viewed as an invasive weed or embraced as an attractive ground cover.
Red Clover
Plant red clover seeds during late summer or early fall for a productive yield compared to winter or springtime sowing. Red clover is often planted as a foraging crop for animals, but is a less effective ground cover plant because it dies after two years.
Seeding Clover
For ground cover clovers such as white or Dutch clover, seed 2 to 8 oz. per 1,000 square feet of soil. Red clover prefers soil with access to phosphorus and potassium. Control competitive weeds while plants establish themselves.
