Red Clover (4/8)

List item

Red clover isn’t often purposely grown in flowerbeds, but it could end up growing there as a weed. That is good fortune because the flowers are pretty, the plant is edible, and as a side benefit, like other clovers, red clover increases the nitrogen in the soil it grows in. The flowers can be used in salads and the leaves can be steamed, boiled, or added to soups and stews. The leaves can also be eaten raw and are great when used in tea. Clover is also nutritionally packed.
