Strawberry Clover

Strawberry Clover n - A perennial legume that persists by both re - seeding and stolon growth

A prostrate, perennial legume that looks similar to White Clover as it also has prostrate, branched, creeping stolons. However, Strawberry Clover’s small trifoliate leaves are slender and quite pointed, and its small clover type flower heads are usually pink and resemble strawberry fruits. Strawberry Clover thrives on saline soils, usually close to the sea or river estuaries where it often replaces White Clover. Its sowing rate is usually 3 - 6 Kg / Ha and its seedling vigour is less than that of White Clover. It is recommended for use on soils that are too saline for White Clover.
