The biennial sweet clover — two years of deep-rooted soil building, nitrogen fixation, and heavy bee forage.
SIZEYellow sweet clover (Melilotus officinalis) is a plant species that belongs to the pea family (Fabaceae). It is often recognized for its bright yellow flowers and its sweet scent, which is why it is called “sweet clover.” Yellow sweet clover grows as a biennial plant, meaning it has a two-year life cycle.
Two seasons of growth for deeper soil conditioning.
Penetrates compaction further than annual sweet clover.
Substantial nitrogen contribution over the stand's life.
Heavy second-year bloom is a premier nectar source.
A standard species for rebuilding disturbed and poor soils.
Taproot carries it through dry stretches.
Sweet clover requires care in hay — improperly cured bales can cause bleeding issues.
