Planted by my septuagenarian father with just seeds and water. This is three eight weeks in. He had to water a bunch at first while it was taking root, but it should need less water than grass. The grass prior was pretty toast, but he took the time to remove crabgrass.
I will take a nap on it next time I visit and let you know :)
EDIT: MB, not three weeks-- eight weeks! Apparently, I have experienced a time warp (again) 🙄 SOZ!!
Got it, thanks. I like a mix in a lawn, i let my last backyard grow wild for half a year to see what happened. It was pretty cool, lots of honeybees showed up.
Not who you asked, but here is another one:

Whooooa yusss, all clover lawns are welcome. That’s awesome.
That’s good to know that your dad was able to put it in so simply too.
Wow! It looks so lush for 3 weeks since, that’s amazing.
I heard about alternative lines a while ago and decided I didn’t want grass, but I had never considered clover and that seems pretty great
Not for nothing it is often desired to mix grasses in with clover.
Monocultures are rarely ever good.
Clover is awesome but it’s not a hardy plant, it tears and crushes easily, so mixing some native grasses in with it will increase its durability.
That said if you can just plant clover and let wildlife seed the rest then you’re in business.

If you can find pollinator mixes for your area they’re great to over seed clover with.
When I do no mow may the wildflowers I over seed grow faster and taller than the grass
