Purple Prairie Clover is a native legume that’s as beautiful as it is beneficial. With its bold magenta flower spikes, delicate foliage, and deep prairie roots, this tough perennial thrives in harsh conditions and fuels biodiversity from the soil up. From mid to late summer, it erupts with dense, cylindrical spikes of bright purple-magenta flowers that sway gracefully above its airy, fine-textured foliage, adding structure and movement to sunny plantings. Purple Prairie Clover is an essential component of native meadows, prairie restorations, and pollinator gardens. It pairs beautifully with other sun-loving natives like butterfly weed, black-eyed susan, little bluestem, and blue grama grass.
