From city parks to front lawns to mountain meadows to pastures, White Clover makes itself known and at home. It spreads on rooting runners in large mats across the ground and puts out abundant, long lasting, sweet smelling flowers. This and other clovers are food for horses and cattle, bees, and many wild critters.

Trifolium repens is a native of Eurasia but is now found in all temperate climates.

Linnaeus named this genus in 1753.  "Repens" is Latin for "creeping".
