- Watering: Water twice daily to keep the soil surface moist for the first two weeks.
When to Use
- The ideal time to seed white clover in Canada is early spring or early fall.
- For optimal growth, plant when the soil temperature is between 10°C and 18°C.
Where to Use

- Ensure the area is free of weeds and debris before planting.
