Clover – Whitetip

Price range: $3.00 through $12.00

Whitetip Clover is a low-growing, native annual forb in the legume family (Fabaceae), commonly found across a wide range of elevations in the western United States—from near sea level to subalpine environments. Its broad distribution spans California, Oregon, Washington, and other western states, where it grows in moist meadows, grassy slopes, open woodlands, and forest clearings.

This species is well adapted to areas with moderate to high annual precipitation or seasonal moisture availability, and it often appears in habitats that retain spring moisture but dry out by summer. As an annual, Whitetip Clover completes its life cycle in a single growing season, germinating in the cooler months and typically blooming from April through June, depending on local climate and elevation.

The plant features a sprawling or ascending growth habit with slender, sometimes branching stems. It produces trifoliate leaves with serrated or finely toothed margins. The flower heads are small but striking, usually composed of purple to reddish florets with distinct white tips—hence the common name “Whitetip Clover.” These blooms are attractive to native pollinators and contribute to the biodiversity of natural and restored habitats.

Whitetip Clover is a valuable component in native plant gardens, revegetation projects, and pollinator-friendly plantings, particularly in areas aiming to preserve or restore western U.S. flora.
