Narrow clover is a tough, adaptable perennial that thrives in poor to average soils and requires very little care once established. Its slender pink flower spikes are attractive to bees and butterflies, making it an excellent addition to a wildflower meadow or cottage garden. Avoid heavy fertilization, as rich soils encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers.
