Melilotus officinalis - Tough and beautiful biennial. Their first year foliage grows about knee-high, with thick taproots below ground. In year two they shoot up golden spires, the flowers can reach up to 6'. We love growing Sweet Clover as a nitrogen fixing cover crop. The taproots open up compacted soil, and they're quite drought tolerant once established. Nectar crop beyond compare! When cut, the whole plant has a delicious scent as it dries, similar to vanilla. 200+ seeds
