Hedysarium coronarium, belonging to the legume family, is a perennial herbaceous species with flowers in carmine-red racemes. It can grow up to 50 cm in height and is cultivated as fodder, but it also grows in a wild or natural form on uncultivated land. It prefers clayey soils, but also adapts to poor soils. It blooms from April to June at altitudes from sea level up to 1,200 metres. Sulla honey is typical of Italy and comes mainly from areas where the plant has been preserved.
