Thanks Catherine!

The lady at the store told me that they were the same.

: Clove and Red Clover aren't related ....
: Clove is a hard woody intense spice thing that has gallotannic acid
: that will significantly darken henna.
: Red Clover is a low growing plant that has 3 leaves and reddish
: pom-pom shaped flowers that I used to nibble when I was a girl, but
is
: much more frequently fed to Cows. Bees love the flowers, and clover
: honey is very mild.
: Red clover has no dye properties that I am aware of. Enjoy your
: clover tea ... with a bit of lemon and a spoonful of honey! I
: wouldn't bother putting it in your henna.
: When you go back to the store, get bulk cloves (not clover) and
simmer
: them in lemon juice or coffee, strain that, and add THAT to your
henna
: for boosting color.
