Lucky Lawn Grass Seed

What is microclover grass seed?

Lucky Lawn consists of tall and fine fescue and 5% microclover. Clover establishes and spreads quickly in places where your grass has trouble growing. It mixes well with most cool-season grasses, especially fescues and Kentucky bluegrass. Bonus? Clover is a nitrogen fixer, meaning it can organically convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form readily available to plants.

When to plant microclover and fescue seed?

The optimal time to seed this mix is during spring and fall when temperatures consistently range between 55 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also plant this mix in winter months when temperatures consistently fall below 40 degrees F.

How long does micro clover and fescue grass seed take to grow?

Expect germination between 3-12 days.

How to plant microclover and fescue seed

1. Apply at the correct rate. For overseeding, use 2 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.; for starting a new lawn from scratch, use 5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. For patching, cover the area lightly with seed and topdress with compost or a light layer of soil if desired.
2. Start at the lowest setting and apply uniformly. For hand or drop spreader applications, no matter the spreader type, always begin at the lowest setting. Increase the spreader setting if the seed is getting stuck or not easily distributed. Walk at a consistent pace across the lawn to distribute seed uniformly. Check after application for uniformity and reapply in areas where coverage is light.
3. Water the seed to germination. Keep the seed moist, not oversaturated, until the grass seed germinates—depending on the grass type, this can be 1-3 weeks. Avoid letting new or germinating seeds dry out to ensure successful seeding.
