Trifolium fragiferum
Strawberry clover is a low, creeping perennial clover that roots at its stem nodes to form patches, grown as a forage, cover crop and bee plant. It tolerates wet and salty soils, so it suits flood-prone or saline land.
Trifolium fragiferum, the strawberry clover, is a herbaceous perennial plant species in the bean family Fabaceae.
The species is native to Eurasia and parts of Africa. It is present in other places, such as sections of North America, as an introduced species. It is also cultivated as a cover crop and for hay and silage, as green manure, and as a bee plant.

Strawberry clover is cultivated as a cover crop and for hay and silage, as green manure, and as a bee plant. It is good for cover on flood-prone lands or areas with soil salinity. It is known as a weed in some areas. Several agricultural cultivars have been developed, including 'Salina', 'Palestine', and 'Fresa'.
