However, when there is a white clover lawn, the bees will be widespread and this may cause issues if you have children. For the majority, white clover will handle heavy foot traffic pretty well. But, if your yard is walked on frequently in certain areas this will cause the lawn to become dead and patchy.

It is best sown in early spring from mid-March to mid-April. Once seeded use a misting attachment to water daily until you can see the seedlings. It is a short lived perennial and may require reseeding once every three years to maintain consistent coverage, may successfully reseed naturally.
