Subterranean Clover

Subterranean clover, or simply “sub clover”, is a low-growing annual that forms a dense cover due to a low growth habit and extensive stolons and leaves. This makes sub clover an excellent weed suppressor, even better than vetch or even commercial herbicides. Perfect for large garden walkways! Sub clover makes an excellent green manure crop and will raise up levels of Nitrogen, making it very useful as a short rotation cover crop. Should be mowed as soon as it starts flowering to avoid it from reseeding. 500g will cover 3,000 sq. ft.
