Trifolium repensA low-growing perennial with white-tipped flower heads and trifoliate leaves, forming a dense mat in lawns, meadows, or border edges. Thrives in full sun to part sun on moist, well-draining soils—ideal for groundcover in sunny borders, pollinator strips, or between stepping stones where it pairs attractively with Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion), Fragaria vesca (Wild Strawberry), and Prunella vulgaris (Selfheal). White Clover enriches soil and feeds pollinators.

Care: Prefers fertile, moist, well-draining soil but tolerates light shade and occasional drought once established. Water regularly during establishment—then only in prolonged dry spells. No routine fertiliser needed; a top-dressing of compost in spring boosts density. Self-spreads; mow or trim to maintain height. Thrives in-ground or in shallow containers (6-inch depth).
Allergen Information: Low allergy risk—blooms April–September. Produces minimal pollen but greatly attracts bees; individual sensitivities may vary.
Pet Safety Notice: “Pet Friendly” means this plant is generally considered safe to be touched, sniffed, or ingested by dogs, cats, and rabbits. Digestive upset may occur if eaten in large quantities. Supervise when introducing new plants to curious hands, paws, or mouths.
* Edible Parts & Preparation: Flower heads and young leaves—use fresh in salads or as a garnish; leaves can be blanched or steamed as a mild green; avoid bitter older leaves.
