Decorative Native Clover that Likes Swamps

10 years ago

So, there are like a million varieties of clover. (OK, 300). Does anyone know of any North American varieties that are especially pretty and like swamps?

There is a section of lawn that becomes a swamp in the Spring. I figure that if it's too soggy to walk on, I might as well have something the bees like growing there in the Spring.
