Care  

For best results, plant this ground cover in moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. There is no need for fertilizers or for trimming it back, although trimming (or even mowing) will not harm it in the long term. (New growth should appear quickly.)
Description  

Here is an ornamental clover that will grow vigorously and tolerate some foot traffic. Trifolium repens Atropurpureum delights with its purple-bronze foliage, edged with green. The three-part leaves turn redder in the sun and greener in the shade. This creeping, mat-forming perennial is spread by underground runners, making it a solid choice for lawn substitutes, ground covers, retaining walls, ponds, shade gardens, and edging.

Look for globular white flowers to grow on separate stalks in the late spring and early summer. They will blossom above the three-part leaves, attracting bees. For best results, grow Trifolium repens Atropurpureum in moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade.
