Clover - Sweet White Blossom

Melilotus officinalis - White blossom sweet clover is not a true clover but is probably more closely related to alfalfa. Sweet clover leaves look much like alfalfa, but the margins of alfalfa leaflets are serrated only on the tips. Sweet clover leaflets are serrated around their entire margin. It is typically a biennial, grows 2-6 feet high, and as the name implies, produces white flowers. It is a favorite amongst beekeepers for its honey production and is also useful for erosion control and cover crop usages.
