Sowing
Sow once the soil is warmer than 10 °C, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. Sow about three times as deep as the seed is thick, into finely raked soil with no clods on top. Spacing is as printed on the packet — thin the seedlings out after they come up. Water with a fine spray so the seed is not washed away, and keep only the strongest plants.
Description
Yellow Melilot — variety description
Yellow Melilot (Melilotus officinalis) is a biennial honey plant of the Fabaceae family. Yellow sweet clover is a honey plant.
Reaches a height of up to 60 -150 cm. The herb is not demanding about soil.
The plant is drought-resistant and does not like wet and acidified soil.
In our folk medicine, white sweet clover is used against headaches (mainly the flowers and leaves).
The resulting extract is used externally, by soaking cotton wool in it and applying it to the head. It has been established experimentally that coumarin has an anticonvulsant and narcotic effect.
Yellow sweet clover is a strongly bee-friendly plant and a green manure that enriches the soil with nitrogen.
