Clover Seeds

Clover seeds are an exceptional choice for gardeners and landscapers who wish to add greenery and vitality to their outdoor spaces–including their lawns! They enrich the soil by fixing nitrogen from the air, which makes them beneficial for nearby plants. Clover seeds are also remarkably adaptable. They thrive in various climates and soil types—from rich and fertile to less nutrient-dense.

INTRODUCING CLOVER SEEDS

Growing clover has many benefits for your garden. They are valued for improving soil health, by fixing atmospheric nitrogen. This happens through symbiosis with microorganisms living along their root system. Clovers also have an appealing appearance with lush green foliage and cute blooms that draw in pollinators. Clovers can adapt to a broad range of environmental conditions, suited for USDA hardiness zones 3 through 10. They are used as silage and forage in agriculture, providing a delicious treat to many animals.

WHEN TO PLANT CLOVER SEEDS

Select either early spring or fall for planting clover seeds. This is when the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Clover seeds need light to germinate, so they should be sown on the soil surface. Preparing the area can be done by lightly raking it to create a fine seedbed. Then, broadcast the seeds evenly and press them into the soil. Water the seeded area gently. Germination typically comes within 7 to 14 days.

MAINTAINING CLOVER PLANTINGS

Once clover is established, it needs minimal care. These plants are relatively tolerant to drought, although they may bloom less during hot periods. Occasional watering during extended dry periods keeps them vigorous. Clover seeds for lawn purposes can be mowed when they fully develop. This maintains a uniform appearance. They rarely need fertilization, as they provide it to themselves.

Incorporating clovers into your garden contributes to a healthier garden ecosystem. With our varieties of clover seeds, you can embark on a gardening journey–one that brings aesthetic beauty and ecological benefits to your outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
