Red Clover

Trifolium pratense

Red Clover is a familiar wildflower with pinkish-purple, rounded flower heads. Its three-part leaves sometimes show a faint chevron marking, and like other clovers, it helps enrich the soil by fixing nitrogen. On Lihou, you might see clusters of Red Clover in open grassy areas, providing a valuable nectar source for bees and butterflies.

  • Habitat: Grasslands, meadow edges, and coastal turf
  • When to See: Flowers from late spring into early autumn
  • Length: Typically 20–40 cm
