Small-leaved white clover is a creeping perennial that roots at the nodes. Between May and October, on long stalks, it bears rounded heads of creamy white flowers, sometimes with a hint of pale pink that fade to brown. Leaves are trifoliate - or four leaved, if you're lucky! Leaves have rounded tips and often bear a white mark. Valuable to wood mice, bumblebees and common blue butterflies
Red clover reaches 30-50cm in height and bears trifoliate leaves and rounded clusters of pinkish-red flowers 2-3cm acrossfrom May to September. Traditionally an element of hay meadows where it fixes nitrogen in its roots. A great source of nectar, especially for bees
T. dubium is an annual with semi-erect stems to 25cm, small, bright green, trefoil leaves and small, pale yellow, clover-like flowers in summer. It can be a troublesome lawn weed, where it forms a mat of interlaced thin, wiry stems
