Lotus corniculatus - bird’s-foot trefoil

Lotus corniculatus: tough, cheerful, and brilliant for biodiversity. This low-growing wildflower carpets the ground in golden-yellow pea-like blooms, loved by bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. A wildflower garden essential.

Plant Care

Position: full sun, in well-drained soil – thrives in poor soils, banks, meadows, and gravel gardens

Hardiness: fully hardy deciduous perennial in the UK (down to -20°C)

Hot Tips: great for naturalising, erosion control, and pollinator patches. Tolerates drought, low fertility, and mowing – often used in wildflower lawns or green roofs. Let it self-seed or gently spread by runners for long-term cover.
