Landreth’s Dutch White Clover Seed Packet

Details This original, collectible vintage seed packet comes from the archives of the American Meadows family of brands (American Meadows, High Country Gardens, and Landreths Garden Seeds). This limited release celebrates Landreths historic roots as not only an early leader of American gardening but also one of Americas oldest and most reliable seed houses. White Dutch clover (Trifolium repens) was a common choice for lawn grass before World War II. Then, as again today, it was valued for its ability to thrive in poor soil and tolerate drought with minimal maintenance. The introduction of petrochemical-based weed killers post-WWII led to a decline in the use of clover as a lawn grass option, as these chemicals also harmed clover, causing it to be perceived as a weed. Today, White Dutch clover is experiencing a resurgence in popularity as a sustainable lawn alternative, providing environmental benefits such as attracting pollinators and improving soil quality. This packet was originally printed in the 1960s and filled in 2024 with fresh, high-quality White Dutch clover seeds.
