White clover
Trifolium repens
White clover thrives very well on soils with good water capacity. The yield
on sandy soils is also very high provided there is sufficient moisture. It
is more persistent than red clover, and forms many new shoots from the
stolons. Winterhardiness is good. White clover in pastures increases
palatability significantly. Digestibility, including flowerheads, is very
high.The small leaved varieties are well suited for grazing, whereas the
large leaved types can be used for conservation.
