Prairie Clover
Prairie clover, Dalea spp., provide high quality forage for livestock and other herbivores, pollen and nectar for bees and other pollinators, seeds for birds and small mammals, and will release excess nitrogen back into the soil. During drought years, prairie clover remain mostly green and blooming, even when surrounded by dried-up plants. Photo taken at Nine-mile Prairie.
