Notes
'Dragon' white clover (Trifolium repens 'Dragon') is a groundcover for pollinator gardens, ground cover beds, and naturalized spaces. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and this low creeper spreads quickly to 9 inches wide.
Pairs well with Betony, Virginia strawberry, and Cup plant.
