Perennial in zones 3–10, this mix survives temperatures down to -20°F and will not winter-kill. Three different flower types attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects all season while continuously replenishing nitrogen and improving soil tilth. Use as a long-term perennial ground cover, a short-term cover crop between seasons, or an intercrop alongside fruit trees, orchard rows, and garden pathways. Non-GMO. 60–90 days to maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Grow the Clover Trio Mix?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree clover species\u003c\/strong\u003e — prevents monoculture; diverse flowers attract a wider range of pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNitrogen fixation\u003c\/strong\u003e — continuously replenishes soil nitrogen for short and long-term growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurvives to -20°F\u003c\/strong\u003e — extremely cold-hardy perennial; will not winter-kill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExceptional pollinator forage\u003c\/strong\u003e — white, red, and crimson flowers attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects all season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntercrop-friendly\u003c\/strong\u003e — grow alongside fruit trees, orchard rows, and garden pathways without competing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eErosion control\u003c\/strong\u003e — dense root system stabilizes soil and prevents erosion between crops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproves mycelial network\u003c\/strong\u003e — supports the beneficial fungal network in healthy soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMowing will not kill it\u003c\/strong\u003e — White Dutch clover included is soft, low-growing, and lawn-compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTermination \u0026amp; Intercropping Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mix may be terminated whenever needed after at least 30 days of growth.

Lightly rake into soil and tamp firmly. Water at planting and regularly if rainfall is insufficient. Clover tolerates drought but slows in extreme heat. Optimal growing temperature 65–80°F. Full sun to partial shade.
