How to Prune Red clover?
(Trifolium pratense)
Red clover, also known as Purple clover
This perennial herb thrives in meadows and fields, known for its globe-shaped pink flowers and trifoliate leaves. Red clover benefits from regular cutting to promote vigorous growth and prevent over-seeding. Prune after its first flush of blooms by cutting back by half to encourage a second bloom. Optimal pruning occurs from early spring to late summer, coinciding with its growth spurts. Pruning can enhance forage quality and stand persistence in agricultural settings.
