White clover does look great in my orchard and the bees love it. I do mow it high, 4 inches or more, to allow it to bloom and go to seed.

Great info, thanks for posting!

Do you mow the clover only once per year?

[@GrowingwithStarkBros]

Depending on the year and how tall you want the clover to get, it can be mowed just a couple of times all year. We mow it mainly to keep any weeds down.

U didnt cover clover seeds so how they will germinate ??

[@GrowingwithStarkBros]

Since it's seeded late winter/early spring, the freezing and thawing works the seeds into the soil, also known as frost seeding. -Andrew
