Description
A key prairie wildflower, White Prairie Clover attracts diverse birds and pollinators, including the Rusty Patched Bumble Bee. A legume high in nutrients, it is important food for birds and essential for the Dogface Sulphur and Reakirt’s Blue butterfly, as it is their larval host. Rabbits love it, so it needs caging.
