The Clover Variety That’ll Fill Your Yard With Low-Maintenance Pink And White Flowers
Do you have spots in your yard that are looking dull and brown? Are you interested in swapping some of your lawn for something more low-maintenance, and doing away with all the watering and mowing that is often needed for grass? If so, then you aren’t alone. One great way to make your yard more visually interesting, easier to maintain, and more beneficial for the local ecosystem is by adopting clover.
When picturing clover, you might imagine a generic green bed of leaves with simple white flowers. However, that isn’t always the case. There is actually a stunning pink and white clover variety that is not only a perennial but also incredibly low-maintenance. This variety is called strawberry clover, also known by its scientific name Trifolium fragiferum. It covers the ground with thick, creeping stems called stolons that can smother weeds, and it is great for attracting more birds to your yard.
