Red Clover

Trifolium pratense

In meadows, pastures and by the roadsides the Common Red or Purple Clover may generally be found in the wild state. It has, however, been so long cultivated as a valuable fodder plant that in some localities it may not be truly indigenous.

The flowering period extends from May to September
