How to Select Healthy White Sweetclover？

When purchasing white sweetclover, look for vibrant green leaves and sturdy stems, indicative of good health. Ensure the plant is free from visible pests or diseases, such as spots, webs, or discoloration. Check the soil for proper moisture, neither too dry nor waterlogged.

Choosing plants with these characteristics ensures better growth and longevity.
