The claim from the maker says:
"This blend requires less water, less fertilizer, and less mowing than conventional lawn grasses. It has better resistance to weeds and is unattractive to chafer beetles." (

As I understand it needs less water due to the clover leaf providing shade for the other plants while it needs less fertiliser because it naturally locks in nitrogen. Now that it's settled in I'm going to adhere to watering restrictions and see how it does.
It's not hardy for high traffic areas though - not a problem for me as the lawn will only be used during summer weekends (basically the bouncy castle comes out). I really like the texture of it - the diversity of plants works really well to make it feel "friendly".
