What percent of shamrocks actually turn out to be 4-Leaved Clovers. Also, where is the best place to find them

Question

Just curious, because it's Spring time.

Answer 1

The Irish shamrock is thought by many authorities to be white clover (Trifolium repens), which has mostly leaves with three leaflets. Botanically, a four leaf clover is actually a four leaflet clover because it is a single leaf with four leaflets. Several companies sell four leaf clovers as lucky charms or cover them with gold to make jewelry. Park Seed Company sells plants of a Red Four-Leaf Clover (Triflorum repens 'Atropurpureum').  Another company sells seeds of a four leaf clover with up to 39% of the leaves with four leaflets.
