In a Nutshell:

* Trifolium hybridum, the alsike clover, is a plant species of the genus Trifolium in the pea family Fabaceae. The stalked, pale pink or whitish flower headgrows from the leaf axils, and the trifoliate leaves are unmarked.

* The plant is up to 40 centimetres (1.3 ft) tall, and is found in fields and on roadsides – it is also grown as fodder (hay or silage).

* The plant blooms from spring to autumn (April to October in the northern hemisphere).

* Originating in mainland Europe, it has become established as an introduced plant in the British Isles and throughout the temperate regions of the world.

* Despite its scientific name, alsike clover is not of hybrid origin. The plant gets its common name from the town of Alsike in Sweden from which Linnaeus first described it. He thought it was a cross between white clover (T. repens) and red clover (T. pratense), but in this he was mistaken and it is a separate species.

* Alsike clover is a perennial plant with a semi-erect, sparsely branched, grooved stem, hairy in its upper regions.

* Alsike clover is native to much of southern Europe and southwestern Asia, especially in mountainous regions.

* It is widely cultivated and used as a forage crop and for this purpose the subspecies T. h. hybridum is used and this has become naturalised further north in Europe and in other parts of the world. Its natural habitat is fields, meadows, roadsides, banks and waste ground. more...
