Gardening Tips from Fran
Trifolium repens Atropurpurea grows by underground and above ground runners, making it an excellent plant for choking out weeds, filling in nooks and crannies or covering flower bulbs. I really do love the color on this plant, but if you want the rich red tones, it needs a lot of light. Too much shade will turn it to green.
