Vermont State Flower
Red Clover
Trifolium pratense
No. 159 of the Acts of 1894, effective February 1, 1895, designated the Red Clover as the official State Flower of Vermont. Both an integral part of manya cultivated hay field and a common sight along numerous Vermont roadsides,the Red Clover is symbolic of Vermont’s scenic countryside generally and ofits dairy farms in particular. Oddly enough, however, Trifoliumpratense is not a native of Vermont but was “naturalized” from Europe.
