Purple Prairie Clover

Dalea purpureaShort’s Resort Field Station
Pending NPSOT review

A premier native legume — nitrogen-fixing, high wildlife value and a favorite of native bees. Scarify and inoculate the seed; slow to start but a signature of a maturing, high-quality prairie.

StatusA working first pass, being reconciled against NPSOT and USDA PLANTS. Corrections welcome at [email protected].
