Alpine clover
Trifolium alpinum
Alpine clover is a compact, cold-hardy perennial suited to rock gardens, alpine troughs, and well-drained borders in cool climates. It prefers a gritty, slightly acidic soil and good drainage to mimic its natural mountain habitat. As a legume it fixes atmospheric nitrogen, benefiting surrounding plants while producing attractive rosy-pink flower heads that pollinators love.
