Trifolium rubens is an ornamental clover also known as Red Feather Clover or Red Trefoil. It has upright clumps of narrow fingered, deep green foliage with a reddish tint that is attractive on its own. In summer, large silvery buds open to feathery, cerise to purple, elongated bloom clusters that are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Trifolium rubens blooms all summer and is suitable for cutting. A perennial legume, it is great for breaking up clay soil and fixing nitrogen. It forms clumps that do not travel, but it will self sow.

Trifolium rubens prefers sun to part shade and average to dry, well-drained soil.
