The bright purple and gold-flecked flowers of Purple Prairie Clover appear in mid-summer. Stunning when planted with Butterflyweed, Black-eyed Susan and short prairie grasses like Prairie Dropseed, this important legume adds nitrogen to the soil naturally. Dalea purpurea is very drought-tolerant due to its deep taproot and it grows in most well-drained soils.
Attracts Butterflies & Songbirds! Deer Resistant! Drought Tolerant! Makes Great Cut Flowers!
Indoors: No pre-treatment necessary other than cold, dry storage. Start at least 4 weeks before outdoor night temperatures are reliably in the 10 C (50 F) range. Plant seed 3 mm (1/8 inch) deep in pots. Keep moist but not soggy and very warm (21 C - 70 F). When seedlings are 5 cm (2 in.) tall, transplant into the garden spaced 30 cm (1 ft.) apart. Outdoors: Sow seed 3 mm (1/8 inch) deep outdoors in either late fall or early spring.
