TRIFOLIUM HYBRIDUM
Alsike White Clover
Alsike white clover is a short-lived perennial clover that tolerates wet and acidic soils much better than alfalfa and slightly better than red clover. It is commonly used for hay, pasture, and soil improvement. Honey bees and other pollinator species are especially attracted to its white flowers for the nectar and pollen. Its relatively shorter growth height (compared to other clovers) makes it desirable in pasture and wildlife mixtures.
