About Tomcat clover

Tomcat clover is a charming California native that brings real magic to your garden. The delicate flowers are a favorite of native bees and butterflies, making it a wonderful way to support wildlife right from your porch or yard. It's also pretty in its own right, with those lovely little blooms that add gentle color to any space. Best of all, it's easy to love because it asks so little in return.

Growing tomcat clover is refreshingly simple. Since it's an annual, you'll plant it fresh each year, which means you get to decide exactly where you want it. It prefers full sun and doesn't need fussing once established. Just scatter the seeds where you'd like them to grow and let nature do the work. Your garden will be happier, and so will you.
