Crimson clover cultivation report

It’s a member of the clover family, but the flowers look a lot like strawberries!

Hello. I’m Ada, the strawberry candle fairy. Are strawberry candles strawberries? “It’s often said, but no, no. Now that you mention it, it’s a flower that doesn’t look like a strawberry at all, but it has nothing to do with strawberries at all.” A friend of Clover. However, the flower shape is quite different from ordinary clover flowers, and it really looks like a strawberry.

Red leaves in the rain
Ada
A sigh of red leaves instead of a sigh of green breath? “I feel like I’m going to die!”
2/27

A strawberry candle that managed to endure the extreme cold even though some of the leaves withered. You have a heart instead of a name, right? “It’s almost time for spring…”

Full bloom!
Ada
All at once in red! “The contrast with the green leaves is beautiful, isn’t it?” “And the flowers grow unexpectedly vertically.”

Point! Strawberry candle cultivation

The life force is tough as there is only a friend of clover, which is also pasture grass. Even in extremely cold winters when frost and sleet fall, it is strong enough to keep bright green leaves, so it does not require much effort to grow. By passing through the cold winter, simple strawberry-colored flowers bloom all at once from April to June.
