Red clover is a perennial plant and blooms all summer and continues to bloom well into the fall. In the past, when there were famine years, red clover was ground into flour precisely for its rich content of vitamins, proteins and minerals. Today, red clover is grown on large areas as fodder for cattle and horses, and it is said that the cows milk better when they eat red clover. Bees and bumblebees love red clover for its sweet and mild taste.
