White clover is a perennial herbaceous plant that belongs to the legume family. It is characterized by its trifoliate leaves, which are typically green and may sometimes have white markings. The plant produces small, round, white or pinkish flowers that are clustered in dense, globe-like heads. White clover is commonly found in pastures, lawns, and along roadsides. It is valued for its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, making it beneficial for improving soil fertility. Additionally, white clover serves as an important forage crop for livestock and is also a significant source of nectar for bees and other pollinators. Its low-growing, spreading habit makes it an effective ground cover, helping to prevent soil erosion.
