Not for nothing it is often desired to mix grasses in with clover.

Monocultures are rarely ever good.

Clover is awesome but it’s not a hardy plant, it tears and crushes easily, so mixing some native grasses in with it will increase its durability.

That said if you can just plant clover and let wildlife seed the rest then you’re in business.

Got it, thanks. I like a mix in a lawn, i let my last backyard grow wild for half a year to see what happened. It was pretty cool, lots of honeybees showed up.

If you can find pollinator mixes for your area they’re great to over seed clover with.

When I do no mow may the wildflowers I over seed grow faster and taller than the grass
