Home owners plant Dutch clover for its durability, thick growth and pleasant white flowers. Dutch clover, as a general rule, requires less maintenance than grass. As with grass, Dutch clover benefits from periodic mowing. The frequency with which Dutch clover should be mowed is largely a matter of personal preference. Many mow to keep the clover at a consistent height. Others simply mow to remove the unattractive dead clover heads. Dutch clover responds to mowing well, quickly producing more stalks and flowers.
Mow the clover to 2-1/2 to 3 inches in height. Operate the mower according to the manufacturer instructions, and pass the cutting blades over the lawn in parallel rows.
Rake and bag the mowed clover from the lawn. If the mower has a bagging system, skip this step.
Mow the clover again once it grows to 1 inch in height, at your convenience, or when the flowers begin to brown.
