Trefoil

Trefoil (Trifolium) - Among the few garden varieties are some dwarf creeping kinds, the best being T. uniflorum from Syria, a neat trailing plant with pink and white flowers, borne singly, and studded profusely over the plant. It delights in an exposed position on the rock garden, with an open space on which to creep. T. alpinum is a stout spreading kind, 3 to 6 inches high, bearing large, but not brilliant, flowers in summer, the upper petal flesh-colored and streaked with purple. T. rubens is a stout perennial, about 1 foot high, with large dense heads of carmine flowers in early summer. It grows almost anywhere, but prefers dry, calcareous soils. T. pannonicum, with creamy-white flowers, is ornamental. "Calvary Clover" is the common name of a pretty variety of the white Dutch Clover, in which the leaves are almost entirely of a deep bronze-purple color; it quickly spreads into a dark carpet of singular effect. Division or seed.
