Leiberg's clover

Trifolium leibergii

Also called Holly Leaf Clover

Leiberg's clover is a small perennial clover native to dry volcanic ash soils in Oregon and Nevada, growing 10 to 15 cm tall with cream-pink flower heads in June and July. It is a wild species rarely grown in gardens, so care depends on mimicking its sparse, well-drained desert-edge habitat.
