They lose the magic if you buy them. Unless you pay with leprechaun gold.

Water Clover (Marsilea sp.) – not an actual clover but a species of fern.

These are not true clovers. they are a species of fern in the genus [Marsilea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsilea) sometimes called water clovers. Unlike true clovers, these always have four leaflets.
These are far too regular to be true clover.
Trust me – I have a penchant for finding true 4 leafers (I often find five leafers too).
As others have pointed out, there are a few different plants that make good substitutes for 4 leaf clover.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalis_tetraphylla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalis_tetraphylla) has not been mentioned yet, but would also get you a supply.
IF you want real four leafers, you’re going to have to train yourself on the tips and tricks of finding them. Are there tricks? yes. But a leprechaun never tells their secrets.

Finding them in the wild is my super power. 11 last summer, 8 so far this year. Don’t even intentionally look for them, just spot em out the corner of my eye while walking.

If you want a steady stock of real four leaf clovers, there are [cultivars of Trifolium that put out four leaf ones regularly](https://green-fuse.com/new/trifolium-4-luck/).
