Yellow rattle
- Product number: 550350
- Origin: Europe
- Latin: Rhinanthus minor
A special plant with graceful yellow labiate flowers. The plant needs grasses or cereals to parasitize on, and in this way, it keeps the percentage of grasses in a field in check! This allows flowering wildflowers to better thrive. This amusing plant gets its name from the seed pods that rattle in the wind. The plant can grow to be 10-50 cm tall. Because Yellow Rattle is an annual plant, you must let it go to seed and therefore not mow the field prematurely.
