Trifolium ambiguum
Trifolium ambiguum
Caucasian clover (Trifolium ambiguum) is a deep-rooted, long-lived perennial clover valued for its persistence in pastures and its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, making it an excellent choice for naturalistic or restorative gardens. It grows slowly at first but establishes a robust root system that improves soil fertility and supports pollinators. Mow or cut back occasionally to encourage fresh growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
