Comments:
This plant can be both friend and foe. It can be a weed plant in maintained lawns and become so competitive that it crowds out the permanent turf. It is a valuable ground cover and soil building clover in open fields, on highway rights-of-way and other sunny locations. It tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, but does not do well in wet soils. The white flowers are fragrant and are used by children to make clover flower chains. Clover seeds are often included in wildflower mixes.
