Most clovers are rather small, but this one is higher than the surrounding vegetation. Everything is long with the Narrowleaf Crimson Clover (Trifolium angustifolium). It has trifoliate leaves, like other clovers, but here the leaves are really long and thin. They are covered with very short downy hairs to protect the plant from drought. A necessary precaution because it grows in dry, often sandy, places.
The flower heads are also elongated, up to ten centimeters.
After flowering they are really decorative!
