Alsike

Trifolium hybridum
In the United States: Introduced

Alsike clover offers high-quality nectar and pollen to honeybees, contributing to significant summer honey flows in suitable climates. Its blooms appear progressively from early to late summer, providing a reliable foraging resource over several weeks. It thrives in moist or poorly drained soils where other clovers may struggle but is short-lived, often lasting only 2-3 years before needing reseeding.
