Hi,

Dutch white clover is hardy in your area but does better in sun than shade and needs to be protected from dog and kid traffic while it is getting established.

You could try again, making sure to water it if it is dry.

This page has links that should be useful. Check out the plant lists and "turf alternatives":

You may also want to talk with someone in your county. Here's the link:

I hope this helps! Good luck.
