Seed variety
officinalis – Melilotus
Melilotus is a genus in Fabaceae, not a single species or colour mixture. The offered albus and officinalis catalogue entries correspond to white and yellow sweet clovers respectively. Both commonly follow a biennial cycle and bear small flowers in elongated racemes. Species identity therefore adds useful precision to the shared sweet-clover common name. officinalis is the catalogue designation for this seed entry.
