How to Grow and Care for Buffalo clover

Buffalo clover typically thrives in well-drained soil and partially shaded areas, mimicking its natural woodland habitats. Overwatering is a common issue; it requires consistent but moderate moisture to avoid root rot. Special care should be taken during prolonged dry or hot periods, calling for increased attention to watering while still avoiding waterlogged conditions. Fertilization isn't a primary concern as buffalo clover generally prefers poorer soils.
