Trifolium hybridum subsp. elegans
Trifolium hybridum subsp. elegans
The Elegant Alsike Clover is a fast-growing perennial subspecies ideal for meadow gardens, naturalized plantings, or as a low-maintenance ground cover in partly shaded areas across temperate Europe. It tolerates a range of soil types but prefers moist, fertile ground and benefits from occasional mowing to encourage fresh growth. Its pink and white flower heads are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making it a valuable plant for pollinator gardens.
