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.
