Is this clover or did I get bamboozled?


Swapped out my grass lawn for clover but it doesn’t look like what I expected (like this ☘️). Product photo and review photos look normal so I don’t understand why my lawn looks so different? I live in southwest USA, in 10a zone.

Here are the seeds I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E255LEE?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_ZF5EB61TEJMSF6P000RK_1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_ZF5EB61TEJMSF6P000RK_1&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_ZF5EB61TEJMSF6P000RK_1&starsLeft=1

Thanks in advance for any help!

    Sure doesn’t look like any clover I’ve ever seen.

    😂 Definitely bamboozled. Those look like some kind of weed or wildflower.

    Maybe bachelor’s button? Definitely not clover.

    Edit: Look up Anacyclus valentinus

    Definitely not clover. Kind of looks like Tansy, but the leaves are too fine. Might be a species of Matricaria, which includes things like chamomile and pineapple weed. It’s some kind of asteraceae anyway. I would kill it and right now, before it goes to seed. It clearly grows well from seed, and you don’t want it dumping a bunch in your yard.

    Edit to say that I just realized the last photo is from the order page. That’s not clover either! Looks like common chickweed. But that’s not what you’re growing. Who knew people on the internet would lie for money.

    One of the many reasons why I hate Amazon. I bet if you check the reviews with pictures, everyone has a different story. Shady sellers can use stock pictures to sell whatever they want unchecked

    Hey OP, I think you may have Stinknet also known as Globe Chamomile. If so you need to pull and or weed torch it all to hell. It is highly invasive. We get it here every year in AZ. I stay on top of mine any little sprout I see gets pulled. My neighbors don’t keep up with theirs and the seeds catch in the wind and end up on my property.

    When it’s small, herbicides like spectracide has worked for me. When it’s this mature herbicides don’t do much to it. I use the concentrate with 2,4-D, Quinclorac, Dicamba, Sulfentrazone. Attaching photo for you to compare.

    Looks like one of those invasive weeds that china randomly ships

    I have a micro clover lawn and that is definitely not clover.
