There are annual and perennial species. The leaves are divided into three to ten or more round, heart-or spear leaves form a whorl, all leaves are equal in size. Most species have three petals, in the form of these types of leaves is very similar to that of some clovers, though in the clover leaves are arranged in a whorl and are not identical in form - two of them are smaller, and the third - greater and located in the center. The angle of placement of leaves in some species depend on the amount of light.

Colors consist of five petals, usually associated at the base, and ten stamens; colors of the petals are white, pink, red or yellow. The fruits are small capsules, containing several seeds. Tuberous roots are often, but some species are propagated vegetatively by the formation of secondary bulbil, which grows by releasing a new plant.


Purple clover likes cool air and moist soil while growing. Suitable soil mixture plant is derived from 2 parts moss, 1 part loam and 1 part sand. Indirect sunlight is best, but is growing at a low light. Weekly fertilization with adequate fertilizer. Any care to make, the plant can sometimes look ill and some of its leaves to fall. When this happens, it means that the plant was "tired" let him rest awhile. Clovers are bulbs and need rest from time to time.

Limit watering. As with all bulbs, allow leaves to dry yourself. Do not remove the leaves before they become completely brown. Allow bulbs to rest 3 to 4 weeks, then wash and enriched. In many cases, growing in a room at this period of rest Repeat 2-3 times a year.

It is found worldwide, except polar regions, especially commonly found in Brazil, Mexico and South America.
Multiply by division of bulbs. Wait until the end of the peace. Then remove them from the pot and remove the smaller side bulbs. Re-planted them in soil, suitable for clovers, just below the surface of the soil and wash well.
