White clover is a very common plant of all kinds of grassy areas in the UK, from lawns to pastures, roadsides to meadows, as both a wild and sown flower.
The famous trefoil leaves are collected by Wood Mice and are one of the foodplants of the Common Blue butterfly.
Looking for a lucky four-leaf clover is a common game among children.

Problem: My Clover or Microclover has grown taller/larger than expected!
Possible Causes:
