White Clover is a low-growing, European-introduced perennial that has become a ubiquitous component of lawns and disturbed areas across North America. Its nitrogen-fixing root nodules improve soil fertility, and its white flowers provide nectar for bees, butterflies, and other insects. It is a primary forage plant for many pollinators including honeybees.
