Annual in zones 5 or colder but has the potential to reseed itself.

  • How To Start Your Flowering Lawn Journey -- No need to remove grass; simply mow existing grass very short, hand spread the flowering lawn seed into the grass evenly, one pinch at a time, water it, and watch it grow! Or dormant seed over fresh snow on a calm day when the ground is frozen.
  • Better For Your Family & The Environment -- Our specialty flowering lawn seed is kid and pet friendly. It attracts beneficial pollinators while reducing your property's carbon footprint!
  • Annual Seed -- Crimson clover is a winter annual and will commonly survive winter except for in the Upper Midwest. Crimson Clover will not survive winter in zones 5 or colder but has the potential to reseed itself.
  • What To Expect When Using Flawn Seed -- With regular watering, Crimson Clover will germinate in 1-2 weeks, and plants will be small for the first couple of months. After the first growing season, it will bloom red flowers about 6-10" tall from May to June, creating a vital nectar and pollen source for our friendly pollinators. Watering regularly after seeding and through dry periods is critical for success.
  • Pure Flower Seeds -- Unlike other brands, Flawn Seed doesn't use grass seed fillers. Our specialty seed contains Crimson Clover Seed. Flowering seeds have longer germination periods and mature slower than grasses. Mature flowering lawns with many blooms can take up to 6-24 months to fully establish, especially in thicker grass lawns that have been heavily fertilized in the past.

Seeding Information:
Crimson Clover can be dormant seeded in late fall when the ground is frozen or over fresh snow throughout winter. If seeding in spring, wait until soil temperatures are around 60 degrees and the danger of frost is past (Mid-May for upper mid-west states). Our seeding rates are designed to be over-seeded into existing grass lawns. Increase seeding rate for bare soil areas.
