Yellow Sweet Clover Seeds | Melilotus officinalis Honey Plant Medicinal Herb
£1.25
Unit price perEstimated Delivery between September 06 and September 08.
Melilotus officinalis, commonly known as Yellow Sweet Clover or Yellow Melilot, is a tall biennial producing masses of fragrant golden-yellow flowers with a distinctive sweet, hay-like scent with vanilla notes. Traditionally valued as a medicinal herb, it is also an exceptional honey plant, producing abundant nectar that makes its flowers particularly valuable to honeybees and other pollinating insects.
Much more than an ornamental wildflower, Yellow Sweet Clover is also a useful green manure and soil-improving crop. As a nitrogen-fixing legume it helps enrich the soil, while its powerful deep taproot penetrates compacted ground and improves soil structure. Drought tolerant once established, it is an exceptionally versatile plant for bee gardens, naturalistic planting, herb gardens and productive growing areas.
● Sweetly fragrant flowers with distinctive hay and vanilla notes
● Highly nectar-rich honey plant valued by beekeepers
● Traditional medicinal herb with a long history of use
● Excellent nitrogen-fixing green manure for improving soil
● Deep taproot helps penetrate and improve compacted ground
● Bee and pollinator gardens
● Honey-producing flower areas
● Green manure and soil improvement
● Traditional herb gardens
● Wildflower and naturalistic planting
● Scarify the hard seed coat gently before spring sowing to improve water uptake and encourage faster, more uniform germination.
● Direct sow where plants are to grow, as Yellow Sweet Clover develops a powerful, deep taproot during its first year.
● When growing as green manure, cut plants before mature seed is produced; the resulting plant material adds organic matter while the legume crop contributes biologically fixed nitrogen to the growing system.
● The characteristic sweet hay and vanilla-like fragrance becomes particularly noticeable as the plant material dries because of its natural coumarin content.
● Allow plants to flower when growing specifically for bees, as the numerous nectar-rich blooms make Yellow Sweet Clover a particularly valuable honey plant.
