Is this what is called micro-clover, or does the picture just make it look like that in a tilt-shift kind of way?
Tilt shift just for privacy, really.
It's your basic white and red clover mix. So not perfectly native to Eastern America, but still better than a simple grass lawn.
I've down probably a total of 125 lbs, so 5 bags over the last 1.5 years. So much came up this spring on its own. Super happy.
Oh, and just to add, it gets to be about 12" tall? It was shorter last year because it wasn't ready to flower. There's a very low % of red clover, which is taller.
It takes to a light mow with the electric mower just fine and loves to put up new leaves. Maybe once a month. Looks organized and happy.
