How to care for Trifolium rubens:
T. rubens prefers to grow in moist, but well-drained soil with a neutral pH in a sunny soil. Cut back spent blooms after flowering to encourage a second flush.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
