White Prairie Clover
White Prairie Clover (Dalea candida) is a refined, drought-tolerant native perennial that offers upright spikes of creamy white flowers and graceful, fern-like foliage. This species is ideal for gardeners looking to support pollinators while adding texture and subtle elegance to prairie-style gardens, dry borders, or xeriscapes.
Blooming in mid to late summer, the cylindrical flower spikes are a magnet for native bees and butterflies, offering important nectar during the warmest months. The plant’s fine-textured leaves create a soft, airy contrast to bold wildflowers and look just as at home in cultivated plantings as in naturalized meadows.
White Prairie Clover thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, including dry or sandy conditions, and requires little maintenance once established. Its deep roots and nitrogen-fixing abilities also improve soil health and resilience over time.
