More About Bronze Dutch Clover...

One from out 'Toe Tickler' collection, Bronze Dutch Clover is a vigorous, creeping groundcover with deeply divided, reddish-bronze leaves edged in green. White clover-like pom-pom flowers adorn and rise above the foliage in summer.

Bronze Dutch Clover is valuable in hot, dry areas for erosion control on slopes or in a woodland setting where nothing else will grow. It will do tremendously well draping over a retaining wall, edging a pond or surrounding ferns, hostas and other shade-loving plants in your shade garden.

Bronze Dutch Clover is easy to grow with the right conditions. Well-drained, dry to lightly moist soils and full sun to partial shade. In hot southern climates some afternoon shade is appreciated. The foliage color will vary depending on the amount of sunlight received being more red with more sun and more green with more shade. Constantly wet or soggy soil is a killer.

Bronze Dutch Clover is very useful as a groundcover in and around patios, along pathways as a border, around ponds, and in partially shaded rock gardens. It  also looks terrific in a container over top of flower bulbs.
