Description
Red clover is a perennial plant recognized by its trifoliate leaves and pink to reddish flowers. It can form dense patches that compete with lawn grasses for space and resources.
Family: Fabaceae
Type: Creeping perennial
Appearance Season: Spring and summer
Causes
Red clover thrives primarily in nitrogen-deficient soils, where the lawn struggles to become dense and healthy. Thin, weakened, or poorly maintained lawns are more susceptible to its establishment.
Prevention
- Increase nitrogen levels with a suitable fertilizer.
- Maintain an optimal mowing height (6-8 cm).
Control
- Manually pull out the plants.
- Overseed damaged areas if necessary.
- Contact us for appropriate treatment in case of a heavy infestation.
