Cottage Lawn + White Clover (LS7)

Summary: A cottage lawn seed with clover mixture designed as an eco-friendly, low-input alternative to traditional lawns, improving soil fertility naturally through nitrogen fixation while producing a lush, drought-tolerant lawn suited to low fertility soils and low to moderate maintenance areas.

Cottage lawn with clover is an excellent alternative to standard garden lawn seed mixtures which often struggle on poor quality or low fertility soils without regular applications of artificial fertiliser.

Once established, the white clover absorbs nitrogen from the atmosphere and bacteria converts it into available plant food in small biological nodules attached to the clover’s roots.

This free fertiliser slowly leaches from the nodules and other plant residues feeding the adjacent companion lawn grasses, keeping them lush and green.

White Clover also produces a deep tap root meaning the plant stays green in prolonged periods of drought without additional watering even on the poorest quality or free draining soils.

There are some points worth considering before purchasing our Cottage Lawn Seed with Clover mixture.

Clover plants are not particularly tolerant of high traffic wear, can become dominant in a turf (they are difficult to eradicate) and can stain if the leaf is bruised or broken whilst in contact with clothes or other fabrics.

However, this is the most environmentally friendly lawn seed mixture and clover is proven to be an easy way of maintaining a great looking, lush, green lawn without the use of fertiliser.
