Trifolium pratense

Trifolium pratense, commonly known as red clover, is a perennial flowering plant in the legume family. Recognized for its vibrant pinkish-red flowers, it grows low to the ground and spreads through roots and seed production. Red clover is valued for its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, improving soil fertility naturally. It is widely used as forage for livestock, as well as in herbal medicine for its potential health benefits, such as hormone regulation and menopause symptom relief. Its lush foliage and flowers also attract pollinators like bees, contributing to healthy ecosystems.
