TRIFOLIUM REPENS L.
Dutch White Clover
Dutch white clover is a very short, white, flowering clover commonly found in lawns and wooded areas. It reaches 4-5 inches tall at its mature height. It prefers cool, moist and shaded locations, but also grows well in full sun locations. Repeated mowing or grazing encourages the clover to produce additional shoots and biomass. Its a highly palatable and digestible forage for livestock and wildlife grazing. Additionally, Dutch white clover is useful for trails because, once established, it can tolerate heavy traffic very well.
