Clovers

Clovers are generally short-lived herbs and feature alternate compound leaves, usually with three toothed leaflets. The very small, fragrant flowers are crowded into dense, nearly spherical heads, or spikes and can be white, pink, red, or yellow. The small, dry fruits usually contain one or two seeds.

The best time to plant clover is in spring. Wait until temperatures reach between 35 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit during the night. Clover needs plenty of water during its early days, so plant the seeds in springtime. In most regions, this will be around April to May.
