- Product number: 725200.1

The true Four-Leaf Clover grows from a tuber that, with mild winters (or a little extra protection), can even be perennial. The green leaves together form a circular purple-brown in the center. Pink-red flowers appear in summer and autumn. Both the leaves and the flowers have a fine, sour taste: delicious in dishes, salads, and on a sandwich!
