watering
White clover needs to be watered on a regular basis but not too frequently. During the growing season, provide your plant with water when the soil becomes dry about 1 inch beneath the surface. Aim to give your plant roughly 1 inch of water per week. Avoid overwatering as this can cause the roots to rot. During the winter season, reduce the amount of water given to the plant and make sure that the soil is only damp and not overly wet.
sunlight
White clover (Trifolium repens 'Dragon's Blood') generally prefers full sun exposure, with at least 8 hours of direct sunlight every day. During the hottest summer months, it may be beneficial to provide some shade in the afternoon if possible, as too much direct sunlight can dry out the plant. During the winter, the plant can survive with about 6 hours of indirect sunlight a day.
pruning
White clover (Trifolium repens 'Dragon's Blood') requires minimal pruning and should usually only be pruned to shape or control the size of the plant. Typically, pruning should take place in the spring or late fall when the plant is relatively dormant. Minor pruning can also be done in the summer months, if necessary. To prune, simply remove any old flower heads, as well as any dead or damaged leaves or branches. It's important to remember that White Clovers don't grow well when heavily pruned, so it's best to limit trimming to maintaining a neat appearance.
