I planted this last year and it was perfect, but by the fall it all disappeared. I don't mean died, I mean gone. Has this happened to anyone?

If you cut it down every time it flowers, then it won't reach the point where it can produce seeds, therefore, no reseeding, so you have to start over every year with new seeds. If you leave it alone and let it grow, it will reseed and come back the following year.

In deed, the same thing happen to me. In fact, we lost it before the fall came along. I figured we got a enough vitamin and nutrients we needed for the grass to start growing. But it would have been nice for it to continue growing lush and full. Oh well. Nature is kind of strange in that way.....I look at it that Mother Nature knows what she is going. Good luck in future planting. Miss. Ducky

only thing that I can think of is those Pests - Deer! - mine comes back year after year - I Love this clover as ground cover

Location may have play in this problem. I live in Az so we have mild winter. My clover is very green and spreading.

Not to me. I planted early last summer. It grew thick and green, feeding deer in the fall until deep freezing temps arrived. Fed it with Lowes version of the fertilizer called 3B.

I think you must live as I do in a cold region. The roots are there and the clover should return in the spring. Make sure you lime the soil. Clover doesn't like acid.

No. I had the lushest green lawn right up the time it got covered with our winter snow cover here in northern NH. Won't be able to fully answer your question until our spring thaws and snow melts, about late April or so.

I lightly tilled the area then seeded, then lightly raked it in and kept it watered. It did fine. I'm not for sure but I think it has a life cycle unlike white clovers. The patches I planted for the bees are now dying off despite watering. They did put out a nice batch of flowers though which I and the bees enjoyed.

Iam not the best person to answer this question. I am not a expert gardner all i can tell you I planted this in september I do not know if it is going to grow yet I have to wait and see how it is doing in the spring. As of right know i dont see any new growth or buds or anything on it so i dont think it made it. i gota wait and see if it comes back. sorry iam no help

I do too. You need to bring it inside in the winter and boot it outside when it gets to 30 degrees and no lower in the spring. When you bring it in it goes dormant - needs no light. the leaves will drop(that's fine)...it can go in a basement, etc...just give it a little water each week.

I live in California, zone 9 and have it planted outside through the winter. The first year it lost all its leaves after the frost and I was worried it had died. I also had to replant it due to problems with the soil. This is it's second winter and it held up very well. No fruit yet, I am not expecting any for a couple of years. I have it positioned where it has some protection from cold winds. I previously had it planted out in the open, so this may have made a difference.

I don't know but to be honest, my plants have not come back yet after the winter. Very bummed b/c they really grew beautifully. I'm hoping I see growth soon.

I just got seeds, they grew for about six months then all died. I'm guessing they didn't get nearly enough sun :(

I didn't have any luck with this plant. I did a straight forward trans-plant and it seemed to be doing well for about a few months and started loosing leaves and eventually died. Turned brown and never recovered.

The brown (i.e., death leaves) fell off naturally on my tree. In fact over time (maybe 3- 4 months) all the original leaves died. But have no fear, new growth came-in concurrently. Now after 6 months, I have a fully formed beautiful tree with all new growth...and I let the brown leaves fall naturally. I would recommend not letting the dead leaves accumulate on the ground.

Wish I could but I planted mine this spring - no freeze - and NONE of them came up.

Don't know mine died. Most of the plants I ordered online don't make it out here in this heat, no matter how much I protect and water them. Sorry.

Hey Christa, I bought mine a year and 1/2 ago and it has been in a pot the entire time. We don't want to plant it in the ground yet because we plan on moving in a couple years.

I only know what I read in the instructions. And yes, ours is thriving at the moment. But I understand that it does die in the winter and comes back in the spring. We don't have experience with this as yet. Good luck!

I only had a few come up. I had them in a heated terrariums with grow lights but was unable to keep them alive. Hope you have better luck! I have many plants but bought them already grown, lol - I might try again in the spring

I waited until mine died down in the fall after it flowered and dug some up. Some were big and some little. I had to dig down a bit to get to them. I figure next year they will be bigger. I left most in the ground to grow back. I dug some up in the spring and they were bigger.The ones planted directly in the ground did better than the ones I grew in containers. Hope this helps.

i've had mine for about a year now and they're almost all doing well and multiplying and blossoming. but i've had a couple that died because i watered them too much - they turned very dark brown. i also had one that was part of a large cluster that died from not getting enough water. it turned pale beige and brittle. mine are inside in a sunny window and i spray them about once a week - that's all the water they get. i'd keep trying because they're really nice once you get them going and they crop up more so you don't have to buy them. hope this helps.
