Medium statured, relatively short-lived nitrogen-fixing perennial legume with pale pink to white flowers. Not a hybrid, despite its name. Adapted to a wide range of soil types, including sites too acidic for Red clover (T. pratense); more alkaline tolerant than most clovers. Prefers wet sites, tolerating waterlogged soils and up to six weeks of flooding. Winter hardy, able to survive at northern latitudes and high elevations. Use for hay, pasture and soil improvement on cool, wet sites. Plant with Timothy (Phleum pratense) or Meadow brome (Bromus biebersteinii) to improve hay production and prevent lodging. Excellent nectar and pollen source for bees, especially honeybees.
