Yellow Sweet Clover

Melilotus officinalis

A fragrant, self-seeding biennial celebrated for its golden blooms that grow 2 to 6 feet tall. Its feathery green foliage and nectar-rich flowers not only add visual appeal but also attract honeybees and other pollinators, making it a favorite for producing high-quality honey. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, this hardy plant is drought-tolerant and ideal for enriching soil with nitrogen. It also supports wildlife such as deer, rabbits, and birds, making it perfect for erosion control, naturalizing, or as a cover crop!
