Default Good types of clover for lawns?

And I planted some random mixture of red and white.

Some is OK - some is *very* tall (4-5"). However, it is not a disaster -
it mows OK and is quite pretty. Interestingly, if I allow it to get
tall, the slow worms and frogs *love* it as even in the recent baking
heat, it remains moist at soil level. Not exactly ornamental though...


That's interesting. I was looking at edvertisements for red clover, and
thought the flowers look more appealling than white clover.

I too have frogs in my garden (they're like little friends), so perhaps
I'll buy some red clover seed and grow a patch or two of it for them to eat
,and for me to gawk at..
