White Clover is a perennial clover that is commonly found across the UK, gracing everything from lawns and meadows to pastures and roadsides. This plant is not only appreciated for its iconic trefoil leaves but also for its role in supporting wildlife. Wood Mice collect the leaves, while the Common Blue butterfly depends on it as a key food source. White clover is also popular among children, who enjoy searching for the lucky four-leaf clover.
Ideal for a variety of gardening and landscaping purposes, White Clover is an excellent choice for lawns, meadows, and pastures, as well as being a natural option for pollinator-friendly spaces. It improves soil health, fixes nitrogen, and helps in crop rotation systems. It also serves as an effective ground cover for flower beds, roadsides, and grazing areas, providing benefits to both your garden and the environment.
