prairie clover is a native perennial wildflower with attractive clusters of
purple flowers. It occurs in glades, rocky open woods and prairies. Typically
grows 1-3′ tall. Features tiny purple flowers in dense, cone-like heads (to
2″ long) atop erect, wiry stems in summer. Compound, odd-pinnate leaves,
with 3-5 narrow linear leaflets. A nitrogen-fixing plant that is an important
component of Midwestern prairie restorations. Easily grown in average, medium,
well-drained soils in full sun. Thick and deep taproot enables this plant to
