Definitely something more people should introduce if they have the space for them.

I grabbed 2 packages and planted this spring. I only read the instructions a few weeks ago and discovered some seeds will need to be sorta dormant or meh for a year to settle and won't take until next growing season. Packages too small too. I should have bought half a dozen and shrewn them everywhere. I'll grab a few additional packages and put them in during the fall so that they have a chance to do their thing over winter and will start growing in the fall and planting more stuff under the pine that will survive (bleeding hearts, peonies etc.). Fingers crossed most of them do well next year and fingers crossed I find 3-4 days time to do the entirety of this project.
I thought all the clover I planted last year had not taken, but I'm starting to see some patches pop up in the last few weeks. Hopefully they expand next year from the shaded area and start moving forwards towards the sunny area where everything keeps dying (even grass seed that "only needs water"). I'm feeling optimistic.
