Plant of the Day
Sunday 26 June 2022
A wildflower popular with bumblebees for nectar is Trifolium pratense (red clover, bee-bread, honeystalks), it is flowering in grasslands and verges. The plant needs a sunny site and a slightly acidic soil with low levels of nitrogen. The 'cloverleaf' foliage is large, downy and marked with a white 'V'.
