Clover, Yellow Blossom Sweet 50#

Wetsel Seed™ Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover (Melilotus officinalis) is a cool-season biennial legume renowned for its versatility in agriculture, conservation, and wildlife management. With a deep taproot system, it excels at breaking up compacted soils and accessing nutrients like potassium and phosphorus from deeper layers, enhancing soil fertility and structure. This clover can fix up to 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, making it an excellent green manure and cover crop choice. Adaptable to a wide range of soil types, including low-fertility and drought-prone areas, it thrives in full sun and is particularly effective in dryland pasture mixes and reclamation projects. Its bright yellow, fragrant flowers bloom in the second year, attracting pollinators such as honeybees and providing forage for wildlife like deer and upland birds. While its high coumarin content may affect palatability, livestock typically adapt to its taste, and it poses a lower bloat risk compared to other legumes. Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover is best established through winter or early spring seeding and is often used in combination with cool-season grasses for optimal pasture development.
