Notes

Sulphur clover (Trifolium ochroleucon) is a perennial for borders, pollinator plantings, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun. It forms upright mounds of three-part leaves topped with rounded heads of creamy white to pale yellow flowers from early to late summer. Bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies visit the blooms. This clump grower does not spread.

Pairs well with Lemon balm, Rhubarb, and Lime Zinger sedum.
