Tomcat Clover

Trifolium willdenovii

Honeybees forage on Tomcat clover for nectar and pollen, contributing to early spring honey flows in coastal regions. Peak bloom aligns with March through June, providing consistent resources during this period. This annual self-seeds in disturbed, grassy areas but requires no special management beyond occasional watering to establish.
