White Meadow Clover
White clover is widely used throughout the UK. It is an important element of many silage and grazing mixtures, thanks to its persistence and nitrogen fixing properties.
A longer term and more persistent option than Red Clover
Very palatable for livestock and high in protein
Continued defoliation stimulates root growth and nitrogen fixation.
Prefers to be shallow sown into a fine, firm seed bed. Sow at 1 Kilo/
100M2.
|
Red Meadow Clover
Red clover is an aggressive, nitrogen fixing plant which is an effective weed suppressor. Good for improving and aerating soil structure.
A shorter term alternative to White Clover, will usually last for two years
An aggressive plant, providing a large mass of green vegetation
Fixes large amounts of atmospheric nitrogen which is released once ploughed in
The plant has a large tap root which penetrates deep into the ground, improving soil
structure. Sow at 1Kilo/100M2.

Warning
All our warm season grasses are drought resistant and by their very nature are capable of surviving, where other grasses do not. This feature makes them
intrusive species. Ample protection must be in place for flower borders and other areas that these grasses will inevitably invade. In more Northern or wetter climates, or where grown where invasion into finer manicured lawns, these grasses would be considered as an undesirable invader or indeed a weed. However it is exactly these characteristics that make our grasses desirable for low watering and low maintenance lawns. Indeed, irrigation, over watering or overfeeding can render these grasses a real problem.
