It produces small cylindrical purple flower spikes from spring through summer, creating a tidy and colorful display in sunny, dry locations. Drought tolerant, it is native to the south-central United States, specifically Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long blooming period provides nectar for butterflies, native bees, and other beneficial insects from spring through late summer. This plant is particularly valuable for supporting small native pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGermination: Sow in late Fall outdoors or early spring in a greenhouse. The seed has a hard seedcoat and benefits from scarification before sowing in order to speed up and improve germination. This can usually be done by pouring a small amount of nearly boiling water on the seeds (being careful not to cook them!) and then soaking them for 12 - 24 hours in warm water. By this time they should have imbibed moisture and swollen - if they have not, then carefully make a nick in the seedcoat (being careful not to damage the embryo) and soak for a further 12 hours before sowing. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out into their permanent positions in the summer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cross Timbers Nursery","offers":[{"title":"20 Seeds","offer_id":45472432586928,"sku":null,"price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Seeds","offer_id":45472432619696,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":45472432652464,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/2357\/9056\/files\/il_fullxfull.8194123210_dkjz.jpg?v=1784676068","url":"https:\/\/crosstimbersnursery.com\/products\/compact-prairie-clover-seeds-dalea-compacta-drought-tolerant","provider":"Cross Timbers Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
