A dwarf Dutch Clover like mini or micro clover is what you are looking for. Some It’s a smaller form that blends very well with grass and requires very little maintenance.
Some people use standard forage type ladino or Dutch Clover. I have even seen some people use red clover (trifolium pretense).
You can get it by special ordering it online or a local seller with turf grass dealer/distribution contracts.
It’s best to buy the seed innoculated and coated.
It’s seeded at around 2-3bs/acre so a little goes a long ways.
Dutch, red clover are both good options. Dutch will only grow a 6-8" tall. Red clover can get up to 18". The micro clover pipolina is one that I personally like and only gets 2-3" tall…
In difficult spots subterranean clover can survive. It’s an interesting species as it’s seeds are formed underground like a peanut.

If I could pick your brain for a minute. What kind of clover would you use for the Midwest US and what season is the most optimal to spread them?
