Trifolium pratense Red Clover thrives well on a wide range of soils except very light, acidic, or waterlogged soil. It has a deep rooted system which makes it drought tolerant. Red clover is widely cultivated in most countries with a temperate climate and it tolerates low temperatures during winter. The tetraploid varieties are more vigorous and leafy.

Trifolium repens White clover thrives very well on soils with good water capacity. The yield on sandy soils is also very high provided there is sufficient moisture. It is more persistent than red clover, and forms many new shoots from the stolons. Winterhardiness is good. White clover in pastures increases palatability significantly. Digestibility, including flowerheads, is very high. The small leaved varieties are well suited for grazing, whereas the large leaved types can be used for conservation.
