    Funny, I didn't know that, but after a little research it seems to be true: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/aa198

    I have no idea what type I have... I just bought some on a whim. It was really cheap.

    I don't really have a secret... haha, but this comes to mind:

    So, almost a year later and I have an anecdotal answer for you! The clover that was not getting a lot of water died easily in the hotter weather. I use them as a cover crop, for nitrogen, and as a green manure (about to go till some in actually). Anyway, the ones in the AP system SHOULD be fine especially if they have other plants providing shade.
