It depends on whether you want Wimbledon Tennis or Wimbledon Common - is your idea of a lawn something shaved down to a couple of millimetres? In which case you probably won't want clover. If you want a patch of green that supports wildlife then clover is great.

Was going to say 'clover' is fab for the bees, worth leaving a patch to flower and then watch the bees enjoy them.

For me, any wild flowers are welcome in my grass which I could never describe as a lawn. Manicured lawns are of no use to wildlife although they look neat. Depends what you want.

tnanks to all

Hi, I agree with all the above, and if you have clover in your lawn, and we get a prolonged drought, your lawn will still look fairly green, because clover collects nitrogen inthe roots, much like legumes do, Derek.
