A biennial plant which can persist for several years due to its self-regenerating properties.
Owing to its sweet smell and copious production of nectar it is highly attractive to insects, which in turn attract game birds and wildlife.
Sowing with kale will help to provide cover in the first year, with the tall, woody-stemmed clover taking over in the second year.
Yellow Blossom Clover can thrive in the poorest of soils and being leguminous and deep rooting it is invaluable for improving soil structure and fertility.
