Sub clover
Trifolium subterraneum
Sub clover is a fast-growing, low-maintenance ground cover that fixes nitrogen and improves soil health, making it excellent for pastures and lawn alternatives. It prefers partial shade to full sun and regular moisture, especially during establishment. Mow or cut back occasionally to encourage dense, healthy coverage.
