Long-stalked clover is a native perennial clover found in mountain meadows and open woodlands of western North America, producing clusters of white to pale pink flowers on long stems. It grows best in average to moist, well-drained soils with partial sun and minimal intervention once established. As a nitrogen-fixing legume, it naturally enriches the soil and provides excellent forage for native bees and other pollinators.
