This species is native to eastern Asia and has a long history in the U.S. since its intentional introduction around 1915. It has been used to primarily to control erosion at mining sites, along roadsides, and in agricultural areas. It was chosen at least in part because it is attractive to livestock.
Compare Japanese Clover. Both species have appressed hairs on the stem. Korean Clover has hair on the stem that points upwards and Japanese Clover has hair on the stem that point downwards.
Look for it in lawns and disturbed areas, especially in open sections of parks.
