Legumes such as Prairie Clovers harbor beneficial bacteria called rhizobia. The plants are able to capture nitrogen from the air, and the bacteria assist in "fixing" it in the plant. The plants act as a natural soil fertilizer when the spent plant material is left to enrich the soil.

White Prairie Clover is a host plant for Southern Dogface, California Dogface, and Reakirt's Blue butterflies.
