Dalea multiflora
Common names include Roundhead Prairie Clover, White Prairie Clover, Round Headed Dalea
Roundhead Prairie Clover is low-maintenance, drought tolerant plant that, as a member of the legume family, adds nutrients to the soil. It blooms many small, spherical white flowers during June and July on the ends of its long, thin stems. A single plant often has many stems growing from a central root base. Its compound leaf may have 3 to 13 leaflets.
Its deep taproot is what gives it such great drought tolerance. In the wild, Roundhead Prairie Clover is often an indicator of healthy, high quality prairie or prairie remnants. When crushed, its foliage gives off a pleasant scent. Many pollinators visit its blooms.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 10-15 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
