white clover
Three-leafed ground cover
White clover is a low-growing plant with three-lobed leaves and small white flower heads, common in lawns, pastures, and meadows throughout temperate regions.
It spreads by creeping stems and is valued both as forage for livestock and as a nitrogen-fixing ground cover that enriches soil.
The flowers attract bees and are a significant source of clover honey.
Children often search white clover patches for lucky four-leaf specimens.
