Rare Native Carolina Clover Seeds, Trifolium Carolinianum, Wild White Clover, Southeastern, Northeastern US Native TR0650

Trifolium carolinianum, commonly known as Carolina Clover or Wild White Clover, is a perennial native to the southeastern and part of the northeastern United States. It thrives in open woodlands, woodland edges, and disturbed areas with thin, rocky soils. The plant features small, white flowers with a lavender-pink tint that bloom from spring through summer. Its leaves are trifoliate with serrated edges, and it grows up to 6-8 inches tall, forming a ground-covering mat.This clover supports various butterfly species, including the Clouded Sulphur and Eastern Tailed-Blue, making it a valuable pollinator plant. It is drought-tolerant and prefers full sun to partial shade, adapting well to USDA Hardiness Zones 7a through 11b. Its nitrogen-fixing ability also enriches the soil, benefiting nearby plants.Not quite considered an at risk species, but on the watch list, due to its limited range to specific habitats and loss of habitat. Planting in it’s native range is highly encouraged.It is native to much of the southeastern and northeastern United States. See photo 2 for native range map.it is “nitrogen fixing,” which allows the plants to acquire nitrogen from the air and provide, rather then deplete nutrients from the soil. Planting other plants in the area where they were previously planted provides a nice rich soil for other plants.Mix organic compost in with the soil to provide beneficial bacteria needed for clover so it is able to extract nitrogen from the air. This is called inoculation. You can also purchase this bacteria medium if your have particularly poor soil or you want to increase the blooms and growth of the clover. I personally just use compost and these are thriving. It is actually recommended to plant these in fall or spring for warmer regions and spring for cooler regions. These have the capability of providing a gorgeous field of flowers like a natural wildflower landscape. Annual, prolific seed producer for planting the next season or year round in warmer climates. Although it is an annual, it will re-seed itself and come back year after year, it can also act as a perennial in warm climates. Yes, it can be mowed! It is encouraged to take breaks from mowing to allow the flowers to produce seed heads and they can be collected and spread or allowed to sow in place. Mowing after the seed heads have developed will allow them to easily spread. They can also be collected and spread if you wish to fill in an entirely different area.
