Birdsfoot trefoil is a perennial legume of short to medium height. Cultivated varieties of this species tend to be significantly taller than wild native forms, having a more lush and erect growth form; tallest when growing amongst, and supported by grasses. They have trifoliate leaves (hence ‘trefoil’), flowers in clusters which are mainly yellow (less orange and red tinges compared to wild forms), and long cylindrical pods in groups which spread out to resemble a bird’s foot.

SOWING:
Season: Perennial
Once established cultivated forms of Birdsfoot trefoil can grow quite prolifically, particularly so when growing on soils with a high residual phosphate index from past cropping combined with depleted soil nitrogen availability (a quite common scenario on arable land). This competitive prolific growth compared to native prostrate forms makes it unsuited to inclusion in wild flower habitat mixtures.
