Lotus corniculatus, a perennial plant, is aptly named for easy identification. The common name “Birdsfoot” refers to the distinctive radiating seed pods resembling bird’s feet, while “trefoil” describes the leaves divided into three leaflets. Additionally known as “Eggs and Bacon,” it aptly characterizes the mature flower’s egg yolk colour and the often red bud. Birdsfoot trefoil can be differentiated from Greater birdsfoot trefoil by its smaller stature, lighter green foliage, and solid stem. This creeping, yellow-flowered perennial blooms in grassy locations from May to September.

Sowing & Growing
Plant Birdsfoot trefoil seeds either in Spring or Autumn by sowing them in seed trays and gently covering them with compost. This wildflower is typically easy to germinate, and under favorable conditions, seedlings may emerge within days of sowing. Once the seedlings have developed sufficiently, they can be transplanted and grown on for later planting in the year. Properly stored in cool and dry conditions, the seeds can also be preserved for future use.

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
