Dalea purpurea – Purple Prairie Clover
The Misouri native Purple Prairie Clove, Dalea purpurea, features adorable purple flowers that bloom around long cones, looking like a bouquet of party hats. These merry flowers bloom on wiry stems that dance in the wind. A nitrogen-fixing plant that is helpful in establishing Midwestern prairie restorations. Having a long taproot makes this beauty extremely drought tolerant but difficult to move once established.
