Clover is a perennial wildflower that is regarded as a weed when it appears in lawns and flower beds.
It can be difficult to remove completely from lawns, as it can survive repeated mowing and some species are resistant to weedkiller.
Although it is generally considered a weed in gardens, clover flowers are a very good nectar source for bees. In gardens with enough space, it is worth allowing clover to grow in an unused corner to benefit garden wildlife.
