Strawberry clover is a perennial clover with a greater tolerance of difficult soils and climates than white clover. It is more tolerant of soils that are saline and/or waterlogged, drought prone or low in fertility. Strawberry clover has a long lived tap root and strong spreading ability, making it more persistent than white clover in hot and dry climates. Drymatter production will exceed white clover where the environment is not ideal for white clover.
