Buffalo Clover
Scientific name: Trifolium relfexum
Buffalo clover is an legume native to the Eastern United States. It is found in five counties in Florida, including Alachua County. The population has drastically declined in recent decades, and the past two hundred years, perhaps due to the decrease in natural wildfires which are thought to help the seeds germinate. Another theory for its decline is that it is getting shaded out.
The flower is reddish-pinkish. It likes full to partial sun and well-drained, sandy soil. Sources vary saying it can be annual, biennial, or perennial.
Size: extra small pots (little plugs)
