A weed is something you don’t want to grow right there. It just means undesired plant life and changes on a whim.
Monsanto tried to categorize clover as weeds in their advertising because the plant killer that was used to kill broadleaf plants that interfere with grass lawns also kills clover. They demonized clover because it was collateral damage!
Clover and grass benefit each other in my experience, especially because clover fixes nitrogen. Wherever we have clover, the grass is visibly happier and tends to be hardier to adversity.
The bur seed clover in my lawn, shits a nightmare to deal with. Dogs get the seeds in every inch of fur, spread it around the lawn and hack them up when grooming themselves.
It’s mostly under control after a few years of tackling it.
I’d love another variant to replace the horrible one I’ve got.
But that isn’t the clover we are talking about when we say clover is awesome. White clover is generally what people are referring to when they are talking about lawns and landscaping.

That’s why I’m doing my part to help it take over :)

Clover is pretty hardy and in my experience doesn’t even fight the grass aince they thrive on different nutrients or something like that.

Ok, that sounds like it sucks.

Red clover is native to the west coast, it’s edible, makes a good incense apparently, and it looks rather handsome imo.
