Product Overview
Variegated Four Leaf Water Clover (Marsilea mutica)
The 1" to 3" four leaf clovers float on the water surface and root into soil. Leaves are highly and attractively variegated with concentric circles of varying shades of green and brown on each petal. It is a fast grower and a good plant to help cover the water surface. When grown in very shallow water, the leaves will grow up out of the water, giving a different appearance. Multiplies by underground and floating runners.
Although called a clover, this plant is (surprisingly) actually a fern! Don't ask us how this affects its being a good luck charm, but we prefer to think its still magical.
