white clover

Water white clover deeply about once per week. If the weather is especially hot or dry, you can increase watering frequency to every 3 to 4 days. Water until the top 3 to 5 inches (7.6 to 12.7 cm) of soil is damp, but be careful not to waterlog the plant or let the soil become soggy. If watering with a sprinkler, irrigate for 15 minutes once a week. If using a garden hose, apply water at a rate of 10 gallons (37.9 liters) per 100 square feet (9.3 square meters) of soil.

White clover, Trifolium repens 'Atropurpureum', is a perennial clover that can grow in full sun or partial shade. For best results, it needs about 6-8 hours of sunlight each day during the growing season. In late spring and early summer, it may need more, up to 12 hours of direct sunlight per day. When white clover is in bloom and forming seed heads, it needs at least 8 hours of direct sunlight a day, so it is best to position it in a spot with some morning shade or in the afternoon sun. In the winter, it will do best with at least 4-6 hours of bright, indirect sunlight per day.

White clover (Trifolium repens 'Atropurpureum') should be pruned during the late spring or early summer months. Pruning should be done slightly but often, cutting back no more than 1/3 of the plant at a time. This will help promote healthy branching and maintain the desired shape of the shrub. Since white clover is a low-growing plant, it is best to use hand pruners for effective and gentle pruning. Trimming the dead or damaged branches can help to improve the aesthetic of the plant and also promote healthier growth. Regular pruning can also be done to control the size and may also be beneficial in preventing diseases and pests.
