Sweet Clover Seeds

Sweet Clover Seeds for Honeybees and Pollinators

Sweet Clover is a useful plant for honeybees and other pollinators that grows well on vacant land and unused property border strips.

You can top seed it right after the snow melts in Minnesota. Because it is a biennial plant, it flowers every other year and can provide nectar and pollen for extended periods throughout the growing season.

The nice thing about Sweet Clover is it can provide nectar and pollen for 2 to 3 months depending on mowing conditions and seasonal rainfall. This extended bloom period makes it especially valuable for pollinators during the summer months.

Yellow and White Sweet Clover Seed Options

We carry both Yellow Sweet Clover and White Sweet Clover seeds. The Yellow Sweet Clover blooms earlier during early to mid June in Central Minnesota, while the White Sweet Clover blooms later and can continue flowering into the fall.

Planting both varieties together can help extend bloom timing and provide pollinators with a longer lasting nectar and pollen source throughout the season.

Sweet Clover Seeding Information

Sweet Clover can be top seeded immediately after snow melt in Minnesota and works well in a variety of low maintenance planting areas.
