DESCRIPTION:

Strawberry clover is a low creeping perennial that roots at the nodes (joints in the stem), forming large clumps. It can be a problem in agricultural crops as well as turf and home landscapes. Leaves have three leaflets that are longer and narrower than white clover (T. repens) and lack the white splotch in the leaf. The pink flowers are borne in heads that are less showy than white clover.
