Common names: Dutch clover, Honeysuckle clover, Common Clover
Scientific name: Trifolium repens
White clover is a perennial broadleaf weed that grows low to the ground. While it can grow in many different places, it is typically found in lawns, especially sparse lawns where the competition from grass is weak. This weed grows best in moist soils that are low in nitrogen levels, although it can adapt to grow in many different soils.
The leaves on white clover grow in sets of 3 leaflets. Each leaflet is tear shaped and many have a reddish stripe across it. The flowers on white clover are spiky and white with a brownish green center. White clover can flower from mid-May on through the end of September and the flowers can attract bees in search of food. White clover grows in a creeping manner and will develop roots where ever a stem node touches the ground.
