Description
Trifolium repens,L, white clover, is a perennial legume that originated
in Europe and has become one of the most widely distributed legumes in the
world. It has a prostrate, stoloniferous growth habit. The leaves are composed
of three leaflets, which may or may not have a “crescent” or “water mark” on the
upper surface. Leaves and roots develop along the stolon at the nodes.
The flower heads, each consisting of 40 to 100 florets, are borne on long stalks
from the leaf axils. Florets are white but may have a pink hue.

Uses
Forage: White clover is the most important pasture legume. It is highly
palatable, nutritious forage for all classes of livestock. White clover is
commonly planted with orchardgrass, ryegrass, or tall fescue. ‘Ladino’ planted
with orchardgrass produces the premier forage combination for intensive grazing
systems in the Northeast. ‘Ladino’ grows tall enough to be harvested for hay,
silage, and green chop. Common white clover seldom grows tall enough to be
harvested for hay or silage.
Beautification: White clover is seeded at 2 pounds per acre with grass
for stabilization on moist soils. On dry sites it usually establishes only on
wet or moist areas.
Wildlife: White clover is a choice food for deer and elk.
Erosion control: Grass seedings benefit from the nitrogen produced by
white clover included in the seed mixture. Solid stands of white clover form a
good erosion controlling cover on moist fertile soils, but stands may be sparse
or spotty on dry sites.
