The standard low-growing clover of lawns and pastures across temperate regions. Tolerates mowing, fixes nitrogen, and feeds bees — the original "lawn clover" before postwar herbicides erased it.
Hardiness ratings
| System | Rating | Temperature range | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| USDA hardiness zone | Zone 3–10 | −40 °C to 4.4 °C | Plant tolerates down to this zone |
| RHS hardiness rating | H7 | down to −20 °C | Plant needs at least this level of cold tolerance |
| Canadian plant hardiness zone | Zone 3–9 | −34 °C and warmer | Plant tolerates down to this zone |
| Australian (ANBG) zone | Zone 1–6 | −15 °C to 15 °C | Plant tolerates down to this zone |
Growing notes
- Tolerates regular mowing — the basis of clover-rich "tapestry" lawns
- Major bee forage; choose this over straight grass for pollinator-friendly turf
- Self-seeds and spreads by stolons — establishes rapidly
