Strawberry clover is a low-maintenance, ground-covering perennial that thrives in sunny to partly shaded spots with average moisture. It is an excellent nitrogen-fixing plant for lawns, pastures, or pollinator gardens, tolerating moderate foot traffic once established. Water regularly during establishment and mow occasionally to encourage dense, spreading growth.
