Dalea albiflora, commonly known as Whiteflower Prairie Clover, is a perennial subshrub or herb that can be deciduous or semi-deciduous. It is native to arid grasslands and open woodlands in the Southwestern United States and Northwest Mexico. This plant typically grows to a height of 0.5-2 feet (0.2-0.6 meters) and a width of 0.5-1 feet (0.2-0.3 meters), featuring compound leaves with small leaflets and a bushy growth habit. The Whiteflower Prairie Clover blooms profusely with white flowers from spring through fall, which are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The flowers and leaves are notably oily and resinous, exuding a strong, pleasant, perfume-like fragrance that can linger on surfaces.

In the garden, Dalea albiflora is valued for its drought tolerance and long blooming period, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping, native plant gardens, and as a ground cover in dry, sunny areas. It thrives in full sun and is adaptable to various soil types, provided they have good drainage. While it tolerates low water conditions, moderate watering can encourage more lush growth and flowering. This species is not commonly afflicted by diseases or pests, but overwatering can lead to root rot. It is also important to note that its resinous nature can make it flammable in fire-prone regions.CC BY-SA 4.0
