Duration: Annual Native to: Europe, Central Asia, China, Japan, and North AfricaEdibility: Seeds, leaves (at least cooked)Status in Yard: Moderate

I discovered bur clover in my front yard on January 19, 2017. It also grows in the back yard. I have let it grow in my S bed since it adds nitrogen to the soil. According to Foraging Texas, the seeds are edible once you have removed them from their spiny pods.
