Trifolium repens is a popular plant spread in many regions around the world. Its attractive foliage and white blooms make this greenie popular to outdoor gardens.
Commonly known as White Clover, Trifolium repens is a prostrate, mat-forming perennial plant. Its green foliage is divided into 3 leaflets and may feature different coloring patterns, becoming lighter towards the margins or developing a white mark on the surface. This plant is considered invasive as it spreads over a wide area with its stems rooting as they go. White Clover also has ecological benefits like soil nitrogen-fixing ability; however, its aggressive growth can be challenging for native flora. The plant produces white flowers in spring, which serve as a source of nectar for many insects. As for decorative purposes, White Clover is usually grown as a ground cover in lawns.
