Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

Medicago arborea (or Tree Alfalfa) is an evergreen Mediterranean plant that forms dense, compact shrubs. A distinctive feature of this Medicago species is its profuse flowering: its clusters of striking golden-yellow flowers appear in the second half of winter, very early compared to most plants, and remain on the plant throughout the spring.

  • Habit and height: 1–2-metre shrub with upright branches and a dense, rounded crown.
  • Foliage: evergreen, with bright green, velvety trifoliate leaves.
  • Flowering: clusters of golden-yellow flowers from late winter throughout spring.
  • Hardiness: highly resistant to drought and salt spray; thrives in poor, stony or calcareous soils.
  • Ideal for: coastal and Mediterranean gardens; enriches the soil with nitrogen.
  • Soil: any, provided it is well-drained.
  • Exposure: sunny.
  • Watering: regular in the first few months, then very little water.
  • Pruning: remove dry branches and, if necessary, reduce the crown at the end of winter.
  • Fertilizing: frequent fertilizing is not necessary: it naturally enriches the soil with nitrogen.

Particularly prolific flowering species: the clusters of striking golden yellow flowers appear very early, as early as the second half of winter, and last throughout the spring (from February to May), attracting pollinating insects.

Thrives in full sun and in well-drained, poor, stony or calcareous soils. Very resistant to drought and salt, it enriches the soil with nitrogen. After establishment, it requires very little water; pruning is minimal, limited to dead branches at the end of winter.

It combines with Mediterranean plants such as Lavandula angustifolia and Helichrysum italicum, or with ornamental grasses such as Pennisetum setaceum.

FLAT POT SIZE Ø 50 CM

Instant effect: a finished garden from day one

Flatpots are well-established plants, grown in our nursery in a shallow, wide pot measuring Ø 50 cm. They arrive with a full crown and a wide root ball, with roots that spread outwards instead of circling.

The result is an instant impact: as soon as they are planted, hedges, borders and flowerbeds already have the appearance of a mature garden. You don't have to wait years for the plants to grow and, thanks to the wide and shallow root ball, they establish quickly: they are also ideal for green roofs and shallow soils.

They are the right choice for designers, landscapers and companies that need to deliver a finished project, and for anyone who wants to transform their garden in a single season.
