Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) is a hardy perennial herb known for its rounded pink-purple flower heads and trifoliate leaves. Flowering through summer, it provides an important nectar source for bees and other pollinators.

This traditional plant also helps improve soil health by fixing nitrogen, making it a useful addition to natural and sustainable gardens.
