I love 'listening at the door' to some of these threads, and don't always speak up because I don't really have a knowledge of these things. But your photos of the clover made me wonder if a plant that I bought to go in my baskets and tubs (chosen purely because of the colours )was a clover. I've had loads of people ask me what it is, and I have no idea at all. I was wondering if i's work as a ground cover, or if it was tender and would die off.
Any suggestions as to what it is would be greatly received?
