White clover (Trifolium repens) grows like a native across Eurasia, North America, Australia, and New Zealand. The white clover hardiness zone is 3 to 10. The plant called white clover is a wild grass, and it tends to grow inches above the ground. It may grow higher as it competes with other wild grasses for sunlight. White clover can grow thick enough to serve as a luxurious kind of carpet as it does in my own organic garden. The white clover flowers bloom in early Spring and thereby provide necessary nourishment for pollinators coming out of Winter hibernation. The indigenous have long harvested the gently sweet aromatic white clover flowers for tea. In fact, the white clover plant has been used for eons by the indigenous as a medicinal plant for overall health. The wondrous white clover flowers can be harvested, but only if you share them with the wild pollinators who will visit to enjoy the garden. These include the honeybees, the bumblebees, butterflies such as the buckeye (Junonia coenia), and sphinx moths. The white clover is a must-have in the garden, for anyone who insists upon having beauty around them and in conserving the holy plants of our great Creator. Perhaps once in a while one finds a four-leaf clover, but the important point this priceless plant teaches us is that we’re all part of the divine trinity. All of us who are blessed enough to be upon Mother Earth and under our Lord of Light are part of an eternal circle of light, of rechristening, of resurrection, and of spiritual salvation. White clover thrives in moist, well-draining soil as well as westerly facing direct and dappled sunlight. Once the plant is established, it may require water during dry seasons.
