Water Clover
Marsilea mutica
Description
This Aquatic fern has highly ornamental foliage. Its beautiful four leaf clover like leaves are two toned green with reddish brown mottling. When planted in the shallows the foliage will mound up out of the water but when planted deeper the leaves float gracefully on the waters surface much like the leaves of a water lily. The leaves are also favorite landing pads for thirsty honey bees. Grow in full sun to full shade in water 1'' to 18'' deep. Zone 5
