Common lawn weeds that look like lawn clover are Alsike Clover (Trifolium hybridum), Wood Sorrel (Oxalis), Japanese Clover (Lespedeza), Black Medic (Medicago lupulina). These plants might look like the mighty shamrock, and some are even in the same family, but none of these plants accompany the healthy lawn we want and are considered weeds.

There are three types of clover that are most commonly found in lawns: white clover, red clover, and microclover.
