Description:
White Clover is a perennial weed very common in the UK. It has creeping runners that travel
along the surface. Leaves are divided into three leaflets with a whitish band near the base of the
leaf. White clover has white or pinkish flowers which can be seen between May and October. It
favours dry, non-acidic, nitrogen deficient soils and is very tolerant close mowing.
Control:
In most cases
chemical control will be needed to control white clover, choose a selective weed killer that
contains mecoprop or alternatively a combination of fluroxypyr & clopyralid such as 'Verdone
Extra', one application is usually enough for clover. For more information on the application of
selective herbicides please visit our Lawn Weeds page. Once
the weed has been removed or controlled the bare area can be filled with a mixture of suitable
soil and grass seed to aid recovery.
