On 6th March, the website indicated 500g packets. So, I ordered 2 packets. On 8th March, I received 2 packets of 250g. After checking the website, I called to report this anomaly, and my contact asked me to send an email addressed to Christophe, which I did immediately. Since then, radio silence, but the modification has been made on the website. I needed 1kg of white clover and received only 500g. This doesn't seem very professional to me.

Description
White Clover (Trifolium repens) is a perennial legume cultivated as a forage plant and as a spring green manure. Like all legumes, it has the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen in the soil while protecting it from rain leaching. It can be sown in any soil from March to May, at a rate of 100 grams per 50 m2.
White Clover, also known as Dutch Clover or Creeping Clover, is a very common herbaceous plant. It naturally grows in meadows and lawns and spreads through stolons that can reach up to 40 cm (16in) in length. Its leaves, characteristic of the species, are usually compound with 3 leaflets, but statistically, one leaf in 10,000 will have 4 leaflets! Flowering of White Clover occurs from April-May to September, in the form of spherical white heads, sometimes slightly pink. They are highly appreciated by bees and bumblebees.
Widely used in permaculture, green manures have numerous benefits: they enrich and loosen the soil while preventing the establishment of adventive plants. They also have the advantage of providing a vegetative cover that protects clay soils from rain compaction and sandy soils from leaching. They can be sown throughout the year, and are usually mowed before seed set to incorporate them through shallow digging or left in place as mulch.
White Clover is sown from March to May, and remains in place for at least 3 months before it should be mowed before flowering. Do not let it establish for too long, as it can become quite difficult to eliminate.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
