Berseem clover, botanically known as Trifolium alexandrinum, is an annual herbaceous plant widely cultivated in warm and mild climates. It develops an upright to semi-spreading growth habit with soft, trifoliate leaves and produces small white flower heads during the growing season. This plant performs best in well-drained, fertile soils with consistent moisture and is commonly used in agricultural fields, meadows, and open areas. Berseem clover establishes quickly from seeds and grows actively during cooler seasons under suitable conditions.
