Egyptian clover
Trifolium alexandrinum
Egyptian clover, also known as berseem clover, is a fast-growing annual forage legume that thrives in moderately fertile, well-drained soils. It benefits from regular moisture and at least five hours of sunlight per day, making it well-suited to open garden beds or fields. As a nitrogen-fixing legume, it naturally improves soil health while producing nectar-rich flowers that attract bees and butterflies.
