Sulphur clover (Trifolium ochroleucon) is a perennial plant and can be up to 40 centimetres tall. It is native to Europe, North Africa and West Asia (source).
Growing instructions
The seeds of Trifolium ochroleucon can be sown dry or soaked in water for a few hours before sowing.
Sowing can be done indoors from April or in the garden from May. I sowed the seeds shown here in mid-July.
The sowing depth can be five to ten millimeters. The seeds germinate quickly; at around 77 °F (25 °C), the first root tips can be seen after just five days.
The soil should not contain too many nutrients. I used peat-free mix for herbs and vegetables.
A bright location without direct sunlight is suitable for germination. As soon as most of the seeds have germinated, the young plants can be slowly acclimatized to the sun.
The pot can be covered for the first few days. In my case, it was placed in a saucer filled with water.
