Dalea candida (White Prairie Clover) is an attractive perennial boasting dense, compact cylindrical spikes of white flowers atop upright slender stems from late spring to early fall. The first flowers to open are at the bottom of the spike and proceed upward as the season progresses. This graceful perennial is a favorite among pollinators, including bees and butterflies. Birds feast on the seeds once the floral display ends. The charming blossoms hover above the fine-textured foliage of compound, odd-pinnate leaves adorned with 5-7 narrow leaflets. White Prairie Clover originates from a sturdy taproot that supplies fertility to the soil through nitrogen-fixing bacteria. It is an excellent range species that is valued for its high protein content. It is used for re-vegetation and prairie restoration and produces excellent forage for livestock and wildlife. Drought tolerant, White Prairie Clover is common in dry prairies and rocky upland woods. It is perfect for rock gardens, borders, native plant gardens, wild gardens, prairie or naturalized areas.
