TRIFOLIUM REPENS L.
Ladino White Clover
Ladino white clover is a tall, white flowering clover that is one of the most widely planted pasture legumes in the United States. Ladino is a highly palatable and very nutritious forage for all classes of livestock. It is best planted with forage grasses such as orchardgrass, tall fescue, or perennial ryegrass because its growth can become very aggressive and may increase the risk of bloat. Ladino is also a major component of many deer and wildlife food plot mixtures.
