Why Choose Grown To Be Wilds Red and White Clover Mix?
Establishment of wildflower mixes are not always immediate. Full establishment can sometimes take up to two or three years depending on the compilation of the mixture, site conditions, soil type, and husbandry input. Maintenance and management also have a major impact on how well and how quickly they establish. However, clover is usually quick to establish if it is sown correctly.
Growing Tips
Prefers a sunny site and slightly acid soil with low levels of nitrogen (i.e., un-manured ground).
When To Sow
Sow from March until September.
How To Grow
Step 1: Red and white clover can be sown straight into the ground where they are going to flower, so make sure you have prepared the seedbed properly by removing weeds, stones, and other debris.
Step 2: Rake the soil to ensure is a fine and crumbly consistency. You want to plant the seeds at a depth of 13mm and cover with soil.
Step 3: Water the just-sown seeds.
