Care Guide

💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun

Sea clover originates in bright, open habitats and prospers in full sun. It will tolerate partial sun but prefers direct sunlight for the best growth. This plant, which may be annual or biennial, is recognized for its sun-loving character.

Ideal: Full sun
🌡️ Temperature 10–35°C

Sea clover can adjust to a wide range of temperature conditions, but its distribution can still be restricted by different combinations of water and heat. It grows best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures increase the chance of Sea clover dying. In winter, adequate protection from cold helps improve the plant's survival.

Ideal temperature: 10–35°C
