What lifecycle is red clover?

Answer 1

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) typically has a biennial lifecycle, meaning it completes its life cycle over two years. In its first year, it germinates, grows vegetatively, and develops roots, while flowering usually occurs in the second year. After flowering, the plant produces seeds, and while it can persist for several years, it often declines in vigor after the second year, leading to eventual die-off. Red clover is commonly used in agriculture for soil improvement and as forage for livestock.
