Plant a Field of Gold

Imagine a landscape filled with cheerful yellow blooms, buzzing bees, and butterflies moving from flower to flower. Earthwise Fields of Gold™ brings that vision to life with Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), a hardy perennial legume that creates a beautiful flowering groundcover while naturally supporting healthier soil.

Fields of Gold is an excellent choice for homeowners and land managers looking to move beyond traditional turf. Its deep-rooted growth helps it withstand dry conditions once established, while its nitrogen-fixing ability makes it a valuable addition to more natural, low-input landscapes.

Use it to create a flowering meadow, enhance a pollinator habitat, stabilize slopes, add color to open spaces, or replace difficult-to-maintain areas of turf.

And unlike a traditional lawn, it doesn't need to be perfectly manicured to look beautiful. Let it bloom, enjoy the color, and give nature a little more room to thrive.

Fields of Gold™ is grown for beauty, habitat, and landscape performance, not as a traditional turf grass.

A Hardy Perennial With Deep Roots

Birdsfoot Trefoil is a long-lived, deep-rooted perennial legume known for its adaptability to a wide range of growing conditions. It can perform well in soils where other plants may struggle, including lower-fertility soils, and its deep root system helps it remain resilient during periods of dry weather once established.

As a legume, Birdsfoot Trefoil forms a natural partnership with soil bacteria that allows it to fix atmospheric nitrogen. This makes it an especially useful plant for lower-input landscapes and naturalized areas.

The Earthwise Difference

At Earthwise Seed, we believe a beautiful landscape can do more than simply look good. It can support pollinators, build healthier soil, and thrive with fewer inputs.

Fields of Gold™ gives you all three—with a whole lot of golden color.

Plant Gold. Feed Nature. Enjoy the Bloom.
