Spotted bur-clover
Medicago arabica
Spotted bur-clover is a low-growing perennial clover ideal for meadow mixes, lawn alternatives, or green manure in garden beds. It tolerates a range of soils and partial shade, spreading readily to form a dense, weed-suppressing mat. It provides excellent pollinator value with its small yellow flowers and requires virtually no maintenance once established.
