Spring is the best time to seed To establish clover in existing sod, sow the seed in spring or early fall. Early to mid-April before grass starts growing quickly is the best time because there is little moisture stress and little competition from grass and other broadleaf plants.
Seed white clover, for instance, in spring or in late summer to fall, so long as you put it down before any freezes occur. Seed red clover generally in fall in warm climates. How long you have to wait for clover to bloom depends on when you put down seed or when it does so naturally on its own.
