Growing instructions:

For optimal results, sow Purple Prairie Clover (Dalea purpurea) seeds in the early spring (March to April) or autumn (September to October). Before planting, gently scarify seeds by scraping the seed coat or immersing them in warm water for the entire night to increase germination. Start in containers with sandy, well-draining soil or sow directly outside in a sunny, well-drained location. Keep the seeds damp but not soggy by lightly covering them with soil. It may take 2-4 weeks for germination. This resilient perennial can withstand dry, poor soils and grows best in full sun. Beautiful purple flower spikes that draw pollinators are produced by plants that bloom from July to September. Once established, Purple Prairie Clover is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, making it ideal for wildflowers or natural borders.
