Birdsfoot Trefoil is a compact, golden-flowering perennial often seen in traditional meadows and grasslands. Its vibrant yellow blooms appear from late spring through summer, creating a warm pop of colour. This species is exceptionally valuable for wildlife: it is a major food plant for several butterfly and moth caterpillars, including the Common Blue, Dingy Skipper and Silver-studded Blue. Its long flowering period makes it a dependable nectar source for bees and hoverflies. Birdsfoot Trefoil also helps strengthen meadow structure due to its low, mat-forming growth habit.
