Purple Prairie Clover-Dalea purpurea

Purple Prairie Clover Blooms
Who can resist Prairie Clover. Elegant foliage on a great garden form, grows up to 2 feet tall. The two inch thimble shaped cones of densely packed flowers are adorable.

Not particular of which soil type you have to offer. This plant will actually add back nutrients to your garden, so use it anywhere.

As a host plant for larvae of the Dogface Butterfly and a favorite for bees, it's a win, win.
