Introducing the Melilotus officinalis, also known as the Yellow Sweetclover, a legume native to Eurasia that has been introduced in North America, Africa, and Australia. This plant can be an annual or biennial and grows 4-6 feet tall at maturity. Its yellow flowers bloom in spring and summer and produce a fruit in pods containing one seed. This sweet-smelling plant was commonly used as a cover crop to increase nitrogen content in poor soils before the widespread use of commercial fertilizers. However, caution must be taken as sweet clover contains coumarin that may cause anticoagulant toxicity in cattle when moldy. On the bright side, sweet clover is a major source of nectar for bees. Experience its unique benefits by planting it.
