Marsilea Mutica is a four leaf water clover cultivar. Four Leaf Clovers are classified as an amphibious plant. In water gardening this banded nardoo is a perennial herb.

Four leaf clover can be planted in a small pot and left on the water gardening shelf. Doing this in three to four inches of water will add an interesting visual display. Water clover will survive this way to a temperature low of 20 º Fahrenheit or -6.67 º Celsius.

Water Clover is a good form of shade for the fish you are gardening for. This is because it floats above the surface tension like pond lillies.

Four leaf clover-marsilea Mutica-banded nardoo float above algae starving algae out of sunlight. Water clover beats algae to nutrients since it has a more efficient system to absorb nutrients.

Marsilea Mutica sprouts can be planted directly in submerged soil at the water gardening edge to blend the look of the yard gracefully into the aquascape. Many gardening additions have sprouts set in loose stone crevices. The roots of the clover find their way into the soil below the water; then pop off shortly into patches of soil affixed surface floating water clover. At night the water clover aquatically planted Marsilea Mutica will fold up. This is something that Marsilea Mutica doesn’t overtly do in mass on land.

The Mutica species (1 in 170) of the Marsilea (clover) genussets well in water gardens world wide, except for extremely cold ice locked regions, or extremely dry desert areas. In temperate and tropical regions Mutica can be settled into water gardened life well in time for St. Patricks Day.
