“Gorgeous purple flowers with golden flecks, and elegant foliage on multiple upright stems give this native plant excellent garden form. Very adaptable to loam, clay, sand, or gravel – Puple Prairie Clover is easily grown in any sunny location with average to dry soils. The deep taproot supports a long-lived plant that is virtually impervious to heat and drought. Excellent in a variety of plantings including rock gardens, sunny perennial borders, native plant gardens or naturalized meadows. A pollinator favorite, Purple Prairie Clover provides nectar to a host of butterflies and native bees.

Uncommon in areas that have been disturbed by modern development, Purple Prairie Clover is a standard component in prairie restoration, and the rehabilitation of degraded areas. As with all legumes, Purple Prairie Clover is beneficial to the soil.”
