Mountain Clover (Trifolium montanum, Berg-Klee) is a perennial clover species of sunny, dry meadows, forest edges, and calcareous grasslands. It grows upright with narrow, three-parted leaves and pale flower heads ranging from creamy white to light pink, blooming in late spring and summer. Ecologically, Mountain Clover enriches the soil by fixing nitrogen, supporting neighboring plants and promoting biodiversity. Its flowers offer nectar and pollen for wild bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. As a typical species of species-rich, traditionally managed meadows, it serves as an indicator of healthy, stable habitats.
