Flower Native American Clover White Prairie 1000 Non-GMO, Heirloom Seeds
White Prairie Clover brings native perennial character to prairie-inspired gardens and naturalistic plantings. This packet contains 1,000 non-GMO, heirloom, open-pollinated seeds. Plants typically grow 2 to 3 feet tall, adding white flowers and an upright presence among grasses and other wildflowers.
Imagine a sunny patch of prairie flowers moving gently in the breeze, with seed heads left standing for ground-feeding birds. White Prairie Clover is a native legume that can form nitrogen-fixing root nodules with compatible soil bacteria. Its contribution to soil fertility depends on successful nodulation, growing conditions, and management; it is not a guaranteed cure for depleted soil or erosion.
Germination Rate: 89%. Test Date: 1/26. AWSC.
Texas Minimum Germination Rate: None
Why Choose White Prairie Clover?
- Native perennial interest: Add a returning component to suitable prairie and naturalistic plantings.
- White flowers: Light-colored blooms complement grasses and other wildflowers.
- Moderate height: Plants typically reach 2 to 3 feet, with final size affected by site conditions.
- Legume characteristics: Compatible root bacteria can support nitrogen fixation when conditions favor nodulation.
- Wildlife value: Mature seed can provide a food resource for quail and other ground-feeding birds.
- Heirloom and open-pollinated: Grow a traditional seed selection with natural variation among plants.
Planting Tips for Success
- Check local suitability: Confirm the species is appropriate for your region and intended planting site with local extension or native-plant guidance.
- Choose a sunny site: Use well-drained ground and avoid areas that remain persistently wet.
- Prepare the planting area: Reduce competing weeds before sowing so small seedlings have room to establish.
- Follow seed directions: Use packet or supplier guidance for sowing depth, spacing, planting season, and any recommended dormancy treatment. Do not assume every seed lot needs the same preparation.
- Maintain establishment moisture: Keep the seedbed gently moist as needed without washing seed away or saturating the soil.
- Allow establishment time: Perennial seedlings may invest in roots before producing a strong flowering display. First-year flowering is not guaranteed.
- Water thoughtfully: Adjust supplemental water to rainfall, soil moisture, and plant establishment.
- Fertilize conservatively: Use soil-test recommendations rather than routine heavy feeding. Nitrogen fixation depends on compatible bacteria and suitable conditions.
- Support and spacing: Leave room for upright growth and airflow. Assess the need for support in exposed garden sites rather than crowding plants together.
- Manage competition: Remove competing weeds carefully while young plants establish.
- Retain selected seed heads: Leave some mature heads for wildlife or seed saving, and manage unwanted seedlings as needed.
