How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
Purple Prairie Clover is a must-have pollinator plant that fixes nitrogen in the soil and is an important component of prairie restoration. Its native range includes prairie habitats east of the Rocky Mountains, from southern Canada to Texas and Georgia. Plant in average to dry, well-drained soils in full sun in hardiness zones 3-8. Plants produce unbranched stems two feet tall or more, with erect, wiry stems holding blooms aloft. Established plants send up multiple stems from the base, giving a bushy appearance. In addition to native bees, plants attract a variety of beneficial insects, including syrphid flies and bee flies. Purple Prairie Clover serves as a host plant to caterpillars of the Dogface Sulphur Butterfly and Reakirt's Blue Butterflies.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
