The white clovers, Trifolium repens L, found in the United States are generally found in one of three different ecotypes. The smallest is wild white clover. Generally this is a native clover. The common white clover found in yards and pastures, as well as White Dutch clover, are usually in the intermediate sized group. The largest white clovers are often called ladino clovers. Ladino clovers are usually used in pastures. White clovers grow on a wide range of soil pH, drainage, and topography. Ideally it likes cool, moist growing conditions. It should be mixed with grasses to lower bloat potential. White clover can tolerate more grazing pressure than other clovers and frost seeds very well.
