White clover is one of the particularly robust plants that grows well in almost any location. The wild plant can even be found on frequently used paths. White clover only avoids nutritious soils with waterlogging.
Where does white clover grow best?
White clover thrives in sunny and partially shaded locations with poor soil and tolerates frequent foot traffic. It grows in meadows, pastures, field paths, roadsides and in sports facilities. Waterlogging should be avoided.

White clover is not very picky about its location. It grows equally well in the sun as well as in partial shade. It is particularly common in meadows and pastures. But it can also be found on field paths, on roadsides or in sports facilities.
The plant is very robust due to its creeping growth. Even frequent foot traffic doesn't affect the versatile white clover. It also grows on football fields or lawns that are frequently walked on.
Tip
If there is a lot of white clover growing in your lawn, it is a sign that the grass plants are lacking nutrients. White clover can be easily controlled if you fertilize the lawn more often.
