Description

Bird's-foot Trefoil 9cm Pot Plants Lotus corniculatus 

Common names include butter and eggs, eggs and bacon, hens and chickens and deervetch.

A low-growing native perennial wildflower with distinctive egg-yolk yellow flowers, bird's-foot trefoil makes a colourful addition to your garden or wildflower meadow.  Ideal for a wide range of grassy habitats, plant bird's-foot trefoil in informal cottage gardens, wildlife gardens, flower beds and borders and wildflower meadows.

Excellent for the wildlife in your garden, bird's-foot trefoil flowers are a great nectar source for bees and an important food source for the caterpillars of butterflies such as the wood white and common blue.

Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our 9cm pot plants are a quick and effective way to boost species in a wildflower meadow.

We recommend planting around 3 plants per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
