Overview
Strawberry clover is a low-growing perennial used as a green manure and cover crop, particularly among perennials. Deep tap roots condition soil while stolons (horizontal roots) spread to form a dense mat of sod excellent for weed suppression. Pink flowers attract bumble bees, honey bees and other pollinators. Ideal groundcover beneath fruiting trees and vines. (Trifolium fragiferum)

Description
8-14” tall and spreading. Strawberry clover is a plant with many uses. Mix it with grass and wildflower seeds for a pollinator-friendly lawn alternative or sow it as a perennial ground cover. Adapted to a wide range of soil types, strawberry clover is the most salt-tolerant clover available and is highly tolerant of water-logged soils and flooding where it is used for erosion control. Wildlife feed on the foliage and flowers, and plants are used for pasture as well as in mixes for hay and silage. Seedlings germinate readily and are fast growing, but require a weed-free area for establishment. Shade tolerant and moderately drought tolerant.
