White Clover 'Apolo' is remarkably robust, thriving across diverse environmental conditions. It quickly recovers from physical damage, including frequent trampling and grazing, and it is well-suited to withstand low mowing and frost. With its productive nature, it is an ideal choice for establishing permanent green pastures, providing a nutritious source of forage in the form of fresh or dried plant material, rich in proteins and amino acids crucial for the dietary needs of farm animals.

It achieves its best growth in fertile, moderately moist soils with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. It's important to note that White Clover 'Apolo' does not perform well under dry conditions and requires full sunlight to thrive, as it does not tolerate shade well. For optimal results, sowing can be conducted in spring, summer, or autumn, based on your gardening schedule and needs.

Where do our seeds come from?

The quality control process
All our seeds must pass a four-stage quality control process.
Stage one begins with a careful selection of the suppliers. Than we proceed with controlling their crops, foreign producers are not excluded from the quality control process. Plants are checked at every stage of their development: when they start to grow, during blooming and when they start bearing fruit (seeds). At this stage the most important thing is to ensure proper spacing of the plants. Thanks to that obtaining the desired morphological characteristics of each particular species or variety, such as colour, height and shape, can be ensured.
Stage two consists of a detailed verification tests in laboratory conditions. With the use of the highest quality equipment by the highly qualified staff, our suppliers perform more than 30 000 quality checks annually. The seeds that do not meet our requirements are subject to technological refining processes, including drying, cleaning, upgrading and testing again.
Stage three starts with sowing seeds in selected control plots. That way we obtain valuable, exact information concerning their germination that must be maintained at an appropriate level. Simultaneously, the varietal identity of each species is checked at this stage.
Stage four takes place in our warehouses and consists of eliminating seeds that have been stored for too long on our shelves and replacing them with new batches. Each package is stamped with a unique batch number and also with the sow-by-date.
All four stages combined allow us to state with confidence that the seeds we deliver comply with the highest standards and have completed all required control stages with flying colours.
