Lee, is this Chinese white clover, that is used for a living
mulch?


White clover (Trifolium repens). i've never heard it referred to as
*Chinese* white clover, just white clover. it's native to Europe &
was brought her by colonists & has naturalized to all the lower 48 at
least. it can be a cover crop, but i dunno about living mulch. i
suppose so,. as it's not deep rooted.

Looks like it should be renewed every 4 years and notice the slug issue.
