Description

Trifolium rubens is an ornamental clover also known as Red Feather Clover or Red Trefoil. It has upright clumps of narrow fingered, deep green foliage with a reddish tint that is attractive on its own. In summer, large silvery buds open to feathery, cerise to purple, elongated bloom clusters that are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Trifolium rubens blooms all summer and is suitable for cutting. A perennial legume, it is great for breaking up clay soil and fixing nitrogen. It forms clumps that do not travel, but it will self sow.

Trifolium rubens prefers sun to part shade and average to dry, well-drained soil.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
