Clover can work with beneficial Rhizobium bacteria associated with its roots to fix atmospheric nitrogen. The benefits depend on the clover variety and growing conditions.
Clover flowers can provide nectar and other resources for bees and beneficial insects. Flower color and flowering time vary by species.
Depending on the variety, clover can be grown as ground cover, included in suitable lawn mixtures, or planted in selected garden and landscape areas.

Learn about choosing clover seeds, their role in lawn planting, and how clover can contribute to soil health.
White clover (Trifolium repens) and selected microclover varieties are commonly used in suitable lawn mixtures because of their low-growing, spreading habit. Red clover is generally taller and is more often grown for forage or other agricultural purposes. Choose a variety suited to your climate, mowing preferences, and intended lawn use.
Clover can help support soil nitrogen levels through a partnership between its roots and nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria. The amount of nitrogen fixed depends on the species, soil conditions, and plant health. Nitrogen is not necessarily transferred immediately to neighboring plants; it becomes more available through processes such as root and plant residue decomposition.
Flowering clover can provide useful resources for bees and other pollinators. If you plan to use clover in a lawn or play area, consider that flowering plants may attract bees close to where people walk barefoot. Select the right location and manage flowering according to how the area will be used.
