Review & Description

Melilotus officinalis, or commonly called Yellow Sweet Clover, is considered to be very drought tolerant. It is often produced throughout the southern United States. It is considered to be a biennial, prefers full sun and will perform on nearly any soil type; however, acidic soil with a pH of less than 5.5 will not produce good results. Sweet Clover is very tolerant of frosts and cold temperatures. There are many benefits to Yellow Sweet Clover including the extensive root system that develops which opens up the soil and increases aeration. It is used as a conservation tool and to add organic matter to the soil. Other uses include hay, silage, green manure and pasture. When used for livestock it is recommended to mix it with grasses. Birds use Sweet Clover for cover and food. Bees are essential in the pollination of Yellow Sweet Clover, and the plants are important in the production of honey. Plant Sweet Clover in the early spring with the rains. Flowering will not occur until the 2nd year. This clover seed is not preinoculated.
