White Prairie Clover
Dalea candida
White Prairie Clover produces elegant, upright spikes of creamy white flowers that bloom in mid to late summer. These distinctive flower spikes are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, serving as an important nectar source in the ecosystem. The plant's fine, fern-like foliage adds textural contrast to the garden, making it a visually appealing addition to both cultivated flower beds and wild meadow areas. It is drought-tolerant and thrives in well-drained soils, making it a superb choice for xeriscaping.
