White Clover - Small / Wild White (Trifolium repens)

Ref: SMALLWC

This species can be recognised by its creeping growth habit, its stolons help to fill in gaps in the sward, putting down roots at each node. Clover varieties are classified by leaf size from small to large.The small leaf varieties such as Aberace are the lowest growing and the most prostrate. Due to the low growing point on the plant , they have a good tolerance to heavy grazing, especially from sheep. The small leaf varieties are the most persistent perennial clovers with the longest life span.The small leaf varieties are also used in low growing amenity grass mixtures such as Economy Landscape to knit together the base of the sward and hold together banks and bunds.
