Blue clover

Japanese: ブルークローバー - ぶるーくろーばー(英語表記)blue clover
Blue clover
A perennial or annual plant of the legume family. Native to the Himalayan region and East Africa. There is one species in one genus, and in Japan it has recently been cultivated for use in potted plants and rock gardens. It branches well, has thin stems, and grows densely along the ground. It is about 10 cm tall. The leaves consist of three leaflets similar to those of oxalis or clover. In April and May, beautiful deep blue butterfly-shaped flowers bloom solitary in the leaf axils, but they do not produce many flowers at one time. It is said to be native to cool regions, and is susceptible to withering and dying if frozen.
