Red clover’s dainty ball of pink, tubular flowers can’t help but charm nature lovers. This pea family perennial graces sunny meadows, where it serves as fodder for cows and bees while also fixing nitrogen to the soil and helping to prevent erosion. It’s such a beloved part of idyllic country landscapes that Vermont named it its official state flower in 1894. Our herbalists love Trifolium pratense for its traditional use as an alterative in supporting skin health.
