White Prairie Clover

White prairie clover (Dalea candida), offered by the seed company Northern Wildflowers, is a North American perennial plant valued for its bright white flowers and its many ecological benefits.

White prairie clover is a robust plant that grows to between 30 and 60 cm in height, with beautiful white flowers in compact spikes on slender stems. This species is naturally found in dry grasslands and rocky woodlands, where it plays a key role in soil fertility while attracting many pollinators. It is also well adapted to poor, dry soils, as well as creating an ideal habitat for local wildlife. Its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil makes it a valuable plant in ecological restoration projects.

White prairie clover prefers well-drained soil and tolerates dry conditions once established. It is recommended to sow seeds directly into the ground after the last frost, leaving a spacing of about 30 to 45 cm between each plant to promote good air circulation. Once established, it requires little maintenance and attracts bees and butterflies while enriching the soil.

This variety is perfect for natural gardens or prairie restoration projects, while bringing interesting color and texture to landscapes in addition to its many ecological benefits.
