White clover	Yarrow	Yellow suckling clover
Trifolium repens	Achillea millefolium	Lesser trefoil

White clover is a very common turf weed, it flowers with a small white flower from June to September and produces thousands of seeds that are dispersed and become viable within 2 weeks. As well as a large seed bank Clover also spreads by stolons. Clovers fix nitrogen from the air giving a darker green area to the turf.	The fine feathery leaves and deep fleshy rhizomes of yarrow make it particularly drought resistant. It produces an abundance of small white flowers between May and July. Difficult to control with some selective herbicides.	Yellow suckling Clover has a small rounded yellow flower right through summer from May to October. It spreads quickly and can form large clumps which look unsightly and can affect the playing surface on sports turf.
