White Clover
It will move through the sward as it grows by stolons, these are long root like stems that creep over the soil surface throwing up leaves along the way. (See picture). White clovers are differentiated by their leaf size. The basic rule is small leaf clovers, are suitable for tight sheep grazing but would not survive in an all cutting regime. Larger leaf varieties would be very beneficial in a cutting mix but would be grazed out very quickly by sheep. It is vital therefore that the correct clover or even better a blend of clover is incorporated in the correct mixture.
