White clover (Trifolium repens) is a common and beneficial plant, particularly for UK gardens and lawns, offering a range of ecological and practical advantages. It’s known for its nitrogen-fixing abilities, low maintenance needs, and ability to attract pollinators. White clover seeds are readily available in the UK and are often used as a ground cover, to improve soil health and as a natural alternative to traditional lawn care practices.

Benefits of White Clover:

• Natural Nitrogen Fixation: Clover is a legume, meaning it can convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for itself and neighboring plants, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.
• Soil Improvement: White clover’s deep root system can improve soil structure, making it more well-drained and fertile.
• Weed Suppression: The dense growth of white clover can outcompete weeds, reducing the need for herbicides.
• Pollinator Attraction: White clover’s nectar-rich flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects, supporting biodiversity.
• Low Maintenance: White clover requires less frequent mowing than traditional lawns, saving time and effort.
• Drought and Frost Tolerance: White clover can thrive in a variety of conditions, making it a resilient choice for gardens and lawns.
