White Blossom Sweet Clover (Melilotus alba) is a vigorous, fragrant biennial legume prized for its tall white flower spikes and exceptional value as a soil-building cover crop. This fast-growing plant produces abundant nectar-rich blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects throughout summer.
Growing 3–6 feet tall, White Sweet Clover develops upright stems with trifoliate leaves and long clusters of small white flowers. It is widely used for pasture improvement, wildlife habitat, erosion control, green manure, and soil restoration projects.
As a nitrogen-fixing legume, Melilotus alba improves soil fertility naturally while its deep root system helps break up compacted soils and improve drainage. It thrives in poor or alkaline soils and is highly drought tolerant once established.
