Notes
'Medium Red Clover' red clover (Trifolium pratense 'Medium Red Clover') is a perennial for pollinator gardens, ground cover, and low maintenance beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, loamy or clay soil. It grows low and fast, and you can cut it several times. Fragrant blooms attract bees and butterflies, and the plants tolerate drought.
Pairs well with Purple prairie clover, Lemon balm, and Virginia strawberry.
