Notes

'White Dutch Clover' white clover (Trifolium repens 'White Dutch Clover') is a groundcover for pollinator gardens, low maintenance beds, and covering bare ground. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Butterflies and bees visit its blooms in spring, summer, and autumn. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It creeps and grows rapidly, so give it room to spread.

Pairs well with Lemon balm, Carrot, and Virginia strawberry.
