Dalea is in the legume family, which means it is capable of capturing nitrogen from the air, and storing it near the roots. Drought-tolerant once mature, it is adaptable to many soil types.
Native to central Canada, including Ontario, however, likely extinct in the wild areas in Ontario.
Dalea candida is a host for the larvae of Dogface butterfly.
Not a true clover, so "prairie-clover" is the more correct common name.
