clover comes in a ton of different varieties, and yes it re grows, but its also rather picky on soil it will thrive in, it is also very prone to invasive species taking over the site without care!

but again without knowing soil conditions, NO seed will just magically grow and thrive
and if you just BUY seed and plant it, it MIGHT grow for a bit, then die off, and again, just be a waste of money!

same as if this site will end up all shady due to green up and leaves,
over browsing will also be something to think about pending HOW Small the plot is!
if real tiny and has good soil and sunlight, you MIGHT want to consider fencing it off to SAVE it for hunting season!

all food for thought here

here is a link to a deal on soil test kits

best 10 bucks you will, spend here before doing any real work!
