Sweet Clover (Yellow Blossom) - OMRI Inoculated

Yellow blossom sweet clover is not a true clover but is probably more closely related to alfalfa. Sweet clover leaves look much like alfalfa, but the margins of sweet clover leaflets are serrated around their entire edge whereas alfalfa is only serrated on the tip. It is typically a biennial, grows 2-6 feet high, and as the name implies, produces yellow flowers. When compared to the white flowering types of sweet clover yellow blossom blooms roughly 2 weeks earlier. It also matures earlier, usually grows less upright, possesses finer stems, and is less productive and less winter-hardy. However, yellow blossom sweet clover persists better in pastures and tolerate adverse conditions better than white varieties. In temperate climates with mild summers it can survive and thrive through a second year of production. Yellow blossom sweet clover adds lots of nitrogen and organic matter to a system.
