100 Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover Seeds Melilotus officinalis Wildflower for Pollinator Cottage Garden

Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover is a biennial wildflower known for its tall, airy spires of small yellow pea-like flowers that rise above bright green trifoliate foliage. Growing as a graceful upright plant, it adds vertical interest and a soft, meadow-like feel to naturalistic and cottage-style gardens.

This wildflower is often included in pollinator and meadow plantings, where its abundant blooms draw bees and other beneficial insects through the season. It performs well in open, sunny sites and is valued for its ability to thrive in poorer soils where it helps fill space and add texture. Use it in wildflower mixes, borders, roadside plantings, and informal garden areas.
