Dutch Clover is a
hardy ground cover that
can be used as a lawn
substitute in hard-to-mow
areas, or as an unusual
filler plant in mixed containers
or garden bed
edges. The foliage has
three or four green leaves
with rosy-purple markings
in the center of each leaf
and green margins. It
spreads by underground runners and one plant will often reach 12” wide or
more. White flowers appear in late spring or early summer to attract pollinating
insects. This nitrogen-fixing plant builds up poor soils and it is virtually
insect and disease free.
