Trifolium repens 'Atropurpureum' - in 4.5 inch Pots - Flat of 10
Trifolium repens 'Atropurpureum', commonly known as Purple Shamrock Clover or Red-Leaved White Clover, is a stunning ornamental ground cover that brings a bold splash of color to the garden. Unlike the typical green clover, this cultivar features striking burgundy to deep purple foliage with a rich, velvety texture. Its low-growing, spreading habit makes it ideal for edging paths, filling in between stepping stones, or carpeting garden beds with vivid contrast. In late spring to early summer, it produces charming white to pale pink flowers that rise above the dark leaves, attracting bees and other pollinators.
Beyond its visual appeal, 'Atropurpureum' offers practical benefits as well. Like other clovers, it helps fix nitrogen in the soil, improving fertility for neighboring plants and reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. It is also drought-tolerant once established and resists foot traffic, making it a resilient choice for eco-friendly lawns or ground covers. Add a touch of dramatic foliage and sustainable beauty to your landscape—plant Trifolium repens 'Atropurpureum' and enjoy a ground cover that’s both eye-catching and earth-friendly!
