Needs substantial water during establishment, then relatively drought tolerant. Nodules on the roots of the plant, with the help of Rhizobium bacteria, fix nitrogen. Grow as a groundcover. Can be used as a turf replacement and can be mowed. Not good for heavy traffic. Tends not to have good cover during late fall through early spring.

Groundcover for dry sites. Clonal (forms small clumps of stems).It has deep red foliage in fall.

Groundcover for moist to wet sites.
