USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

Planting Guides
Planting And Growing Tips For Prairie Clover (Dalea) a genus of New World wildflowers that includes both woody and herbaceous species. These plants are legumes and fix nitrogen into the soil. Preferred growing conditions:
Plant in most any soil including clay with full sun conditions.
Mulching is not needed.
Water regularly the first growing season to establish the plants. Once established, infrequent, deep watering is fine.
Fertilizing is not needed, as they are legumes that fix nitrogen from the air and put it into the soil.
Special comments:
Allow the herbaceous types to re-seed. Seeds are also eaten by songbirds, so deadheading is not recommended.
