Description
Trifolium fragiferum Perennial legume cover crop.
Dwarf Strawberry Clover is a compact perennial clover valued for its lush growth and attractive strawberry-shaped blooms. Growing to just 10 inches tall, it provides year-round ground cover in full sun to light shade. This versatile clover is ideal for landscaping—often paired with White Alyssum for striking contrast—as well as for orchards and vineyards where irrigation is available. Beyond its ornamental appeal, it supports soil health by fixing nitrogen and creating a dense, living mulch that suppresses weeds and reduces erosion.
- Application Rate: 0.25"-0.5" deep at 0.5-1 lb/1000 sq ft or 12-15 lb/acre

- Facts to Note: Less heat- and alkali-tolerant than Palestine Strawberry Clover but grows well on most soils. Best planted in fall or spring.
