Melilotus grown for seed increase at the NCRPIS in Ames, IA. Started in germination boxes on April 9, 2004. The plants were at first thought to be annuals, but they did not flower in the 2004 field. They were dug up and forced to flower with artificial long days in the summer of 2005. It seems that this unusual type bolts early like annuals but also needs cool vernalization since they are biennials. David Brenner and Samuel Flomo.
