But this lawn care tidbit could surprise you: Several decades ago, killing clover was not at all in vogue.
Clovers — specifically Trifolium repens — have for centuries been domesticated ground cover plants or livestock forage plants.
Clover is a legume, in the same plant family (legumes) containing peas, beans, and peanuts.
Its common names include white clover, white Dutch clover, Dutch clover and ladino clover.
While it is native to the Mediterranean, it was introduced into the United States early in the colonial days.
This could save people a pretty penny, and it also makes clover way better for the environment than grass-only lawns.
White clover “is the most common clover grown in lawns because it is the lowest growing and hardy,” Sharapova says. »
