Design Tips

Purple Prairie Clover grows from a small clump and eventually has dozens of bright pink flower stems. Its seeds germinate easily around the parent plant. Purple Prairie Clover (Dalea purpurea) is short enough to place near borders and among other short plants. Clovers improve soil quality by capturing nitrogen from the air and putting it into the soil.

Great native plant choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!
