Expert Response
Thanks for your question. We apologize for not responding earlier but for the last week or so, the number of submitted questions to us has significantly increased.
Could you please take a few pictures of your garden and send to us? We need to ascertain the extent to which you currently have wildflowers blooming and the degree to which the clover is covering your garden.
Also, do you know what kind of clover was planted? More specifically, was it red or white? Was it an annual clover or a perennial clover?
We look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks for consulting us.
Thanks for the response. It would be important and necessary to find out whether the planted clover was annual or perennial.The strategies dealing with these two types of clover are quite different. If it was an annual clover, you could slow down the germination of 2024 sends in the beginning of 2025. If perennial clover was planted, it will be difficult to eliminate it without also inhibiting the growth of your perennial wildflowers. It the area of your garden is not real large, you may end having to kill everything in the garden and starting over again.
Probably not the best news you wanted to hear. Thanks for consulting us.
