You’re describing grass.

Clover dies easily. Whether that’s people walking on it, temperature extremes, too little water, snow. That makes a lawn look patchy. It can be used in certain places, but definitely not all.

Depending on the type, grass is much hardier.

Sure, the issue is people have masssssive fucking yards that they don’t walk on. Usually front yards. A mix of clover and grass is best.

As long as they don’t get snow or high temperatures, clover might be okay. Problem is that most of the U.S. gets either snow or high temperatures. There’s no way to prevent the die-off with snow, but you’ll need to irrigate frequently and copiously to keep clover alive in high temperatures. It’s a big waste of clean water, IMHO.

I’m in Alberta so both cold as fuck and prone to hot droughts. The only thing that I can guarantee that will stay green and survive here is clover. I refuse to water my lawn, the key is to let it grow, flower and then self seed.

That’s crazy. I need to import your mutant clover over here to Denmark. Are there different varieties? I guess there must be.
