100 Seeds Bird's Foot Trefoil Lotus corniculatus

Bird's Foot Trefoil is a low-growing perennial that forms a dense, mat-like clump of bright green foliage. It is valued for its cheerful, pea-like yellow blooms that appear over a long season, adding a soft, natural texture to meadows, borders, and groundcover plantings.
This versatile plant works well in wildflower gardens, pollinator-friendly landscapes, and low-maintenance groundcover areas. Its trailing habit makes it suitable for filling gaps between stepping stones or cascading over low walls. The flowers are attractive in informal arrangements, and the plant's tolerance for poor soils makes it a practical choice for challenging sites.
