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.
From there we can decide how and when to plant our clover crop. Clover is a very versatile plant. It can be planted nearly year-round, by frost seeding in the late winter, sown in early spring with oats, summer or even during the fall with a cover crop of grain for added late season nutrition. The latter being perhaps the most cost efficient in terms of weed control.
