Alsike clover
Trifolium hybridum
Alsike clover is a fast-growing perennial clover that thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, making it ideal for meadow gardens, lawns, or pollinator patches. Water regularly during establishment; once mature it is largely self-sufficient. It naturally fixes nitrogen in the soil, improving fertility for neighboring plants.
