White clover is a species of clover native to Europe, North Africa and West Asia. it has been widely introduced elsewhere in the world as a pasture crop. It grows in turfgrass, crops and landscapes. It is also found in a wide range of different field type environments. It can grow on many different types and pHs of soil, but prefers clay.

The plants extensive root system makes the soil more friable, improving tilth and water infiltration.
