Trifolium - Clover
Trifolium repens, commonly known as white clover, is a resilient and multifunctional ground cover that offers a wealth of benefits for both ornamental and functional landscapes. As a nitrogen-fixing legume, it naturally enriches the soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and supporting healthy plant growth nearby. Its dense, low-growing foliage helps suppress weeds, retains soil moisture, and prevents erosion, making it an excellent choice for sustainable lawns and erosion-prone areas. White clover is drought-tolerant, requires minimal mowing, and stays lush and green even in poor soils. Additionally, it produces small white flowers that attract bees and other beneficial pollinators, promoting biodiversity and ecological health in any garden setting.
