Dalea candida - White Prairie Clover

White Prairie Clover provides a pollinator paradise because it often grows in patches making it attractive to bees.  It's also the larval host plant for the Dogface Butterfly.

White flowers bloom May through September and reaches heights of 1 to 3 feet. This perennial prefers full sun and dry to mesic soils.

Look for White Prairie Clover in some of our popular native seed mixes like Midwest Wildflower Native Seed Mix, Ohio Pollinator Oasis Native Seed Mix, and Mixed Height Native Grass and Wildflower Seed Mix. 

How To Plant White Prairie Clover Seeds:

Direct sow seeds into prepared soil in late fall once soil temps are below 50 degrees (usually mid to late November). Can also be planted in winter during natural freeze/thaw cycles and early spring. Plant shallow, no deeper than 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep and lightly rake to work seed in. Plant in full sun. Can take 3 growing seasons to fully establish.
