Long-stalked clover is a low-growing native perennial clover ideal for naturalistic meadow or woodland edge plantings in the Pacific Northwest. It is easy to grow in average soils with moderate moisture and thrives in partial shade, making it suitable for understory settings. Once established it spreads gently and provides excellent pollinator forage with minimal intervention.
