Ladino Clover, White Clover, White Dutch Clover (Trifolium repens), Papilionaceae Family, introduced, perennial, blooms April through September

This plant roots at the nodes and can form large mats up to 2m in diameter. It is found in the Pineywoods, Gulf Prairies and Marshes, Post Oak Savannahs, Blackland Prairies, Cross Timbers and Prairies, South Texas Plains and Edwards Plateau Regions. White clover grows in crops, turfgrass and landscapes in a wide range of environments. White clover can tolerate close mowing. It can grow on many different types and pHs of soil. Its foliage appears in 3 leaflet groups. The leaflets are ovate to orbicular with striate veins and have inverted splotches. The corolla is whitish and fades to tan or pink. It is purposefully planted together with grasses to enrich pastures for cattle, horses, sheep, or goats as well as cultivated in poor soil during crop rotations. Clovers assist with setting nitrogen; therefore a season of clover dominance will improve commerical crops for years into the future.
