Description
If you have a spare piece of ground we do recommend you grow wild white clover. This provides excellent pollen for honey bees. Clover honey is very pleasing to the taste.
This plant will attract a host of beneficial insects including quite harmless Bumble Bees and Butterflies. We must do all we can to preserve our wildlife.
We have also heard that if you plant clover instead of grass if you have dogs then you don't get the brown patches when they wee!
Also known as Dutch clover.
Will you be lucky enough to grow a four leaved clover? There is a myth that says finding a four leaved clover (they usually have three) will bring you good luck.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
