Lespedeza bicolor 'Yakushima', 2017

"Lespedeza bicolor 'Yakushima', 2017, [Bush Clover], less-pe-DEEZ-a, 18x18 in #Shrub, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, violet purple, Bloom Month 8-9, In Garden Bed H1 for 8.3 YEARS (lazy).

 

Dwarf mounding Bush Clover with delicate violet-purple blooms in late summer. Forms a fine textured, feathery mound. Drought tolerant. Front walk, near porch. I usually prune this plant to the ground in late winter every year. It is commonly called bush clover because it is a shrubby plant with clover-like flowers. Trifoliate leaves are blue green. It suffered last Winter from the low temteratures, but it is back to form. Planted 2009.
