Dalea is in the legume family, which means it's a nitrogen-fixer. Drought-tolerant once mature, it is adaptable to many soil types.
Native to central Canada, including Ontario.
Not a true clover, so "prairie-clover" is the more correct common name.
Dalea benefits native bees, bumblebees and honey bees.
