This finely leaved plant has a single or, perhaps, a few stem rising from a common base. The flowers, crowded into cylindrical spikes, bloom first at the bottom and progress upwards along the column.
Plant is taller and more open than purple prairie clover and blooms slightly later. It is common on glades, savannas and dry prairies and is a good food source for wildlife and livestock.
