Long-lived, rhizomatous perennial legume also called Caucasian clover. Prostrate to erect stems, 1.5 feet (46 cm) in length, branching from the crown. Strong rhizomes form a dense mat of roots and daughter plants. Hairless oblong leaves with serrated margins, often with white V-shaped markings. Inflorescence is a head with mostly white to pink flowers. Used primarily for grazing, but first spring growth cycle can be harvested for hay or haylage. A valuable source of nectar for honey production. Tolerates close grazing due to extensive rhizomes and deep-seated crowns, which can be 2 inches (5 cm) below the soil surface. Kura tolerates stresses including cold, drought, low-fertility acid soils, and hard grazing. Poor seedling vigor, but persists once established. Production areas similar to white clover although it is most productive in the northern US with available summer moisture.
