Arrowleaf clover is a vigorous, fast-growing annual legume best suited to open, sunny sites with moderately fertile, well-drained soils. It is commonly used as a cover crop, pasture plant, or wildlife food plot species and requires minimal inputs once established in a sunny location. Its large, showy white-to-pink flower heads bloom from spring through summer, drawing in bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators.
