Lotus corniculatus
An ideal plant for gravel gardens, meadows and other natural planting schemes. Once established they can spread fairly rapidly which is perfect if you want to cover a fairly large area quickly. If, however, you want to keep it more in check, it can be fairly easily controlled by deadheading promptly. It bears brilliant yellow flowers throughout summer which as they age, turn a slightly orange colour.
