Description
White Prairie Clover (Dalea candida) is a hardy native legume that brightens the landscape with elegant white flower spikes during mid-summer. Blooming from June to September, it reaches up to three feet tall and thrives in full or partial sun and dry soils. Like other legumes, it improves soil health by fixing nitrogen, thanks to its symbiotic relationship with rhizobia bacteria.
This plant is highly attractive to native bees, birds, and butterflies, and serves as a host for Southern Dogface, California Dogface, and Reakirt’s Blue butterflies. It is distinguishable from its close relative, Purple Prairie Clover, by its wider leaves and white blossoms.
Also known as: Petalostemum candidum.
