About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Red Clover is a flowering clover for naturalized plantings, meadow-style areas, and other garden spaces where its leafy growth and seasonal blooms suit the design. It is not a conventional turfgrass, but it can complement mixed plantings where a softer, more natural appearance is wanted.
Use it in a prepared site that matches its light, soil, and moisture needs, allowing young plants time to establish before expecting fuller coverage. Appearance and growth vary with local weather, soil conditions, and routine care.
A biennial or short-lived perennial clover for mixed, naturalized, and soil-cover plantings.
