Bronze clover?

[tyguy35]

Hey I was at the super market and I seen what they called bronze clover. I've never seen clover for sale and I want it in tanks setup. But is it safe. It looks like regular clover but it's got a reddish tint to it green edges. Sorry I don't have a picture I'm on my iPod won't allow me to post any from here

Oh by the way they looked identical to a regular green one just had a red shade

Is this what you are referring to?

If it is grown in the shade there will be more green color to the leaves and more red if the plant is grown in direct sun....

This is a good seed site and it shows that there is no toxicity....so, I would say a good one and kinda showy and it can become invasive...so if you want it to go crazy...go for it...

Is this it? It is very invasive.

Yes that is it to what you both showed me. So I'm guessing safe since your boxie is in there.

I have it all over the turtle garden and also in my tortoise garden. No one has ever tried to eat it, but it spreads like crazy and has little white flowers in the Spring. Looks very pretty and they trample all over it and nothing kills it.

Ok thanks it muSt be it then because it's brand name is stepables lol. There were tons of other plants but I like it most. Do you think it would grow in Eco earth. Or do I have to find a organic soil which is just stupid here. I've been trying to grow everythin in organic cactus soil lol works for my jade aloe and opuntia haha but there cacti

I think it will grow best in plain soil. When I first got it, after it spread, I put some in a pot with just soil from the garden, and gave it to my son for around his pond. I also gave some to a neighbor and they left it in the pot for a year and it was fine. Very hardy.
