bush clover

Overview

Bush Clover (Lespedeza thunbergii 'White Fountain') is a deciduous shrub native to Japan and Korea. It produces abundant clusters of small, white, pea-like flowers in early to mid-summer that attract bees and butterflies. The foliage of the bush clover is grey-green with noticeable tan veins. It grows best in full sun or part shade and soils that are rich in organic matter. Once established, it is drought tolerant, and the plant is deer resistant. Pruning and deadheading spent blossoms will make this bush clover more attractive and help it to stay from becoming weed-like. With its graceful arching branches and white fountain-like blooms it is an excellent choice for adding versatility to large, sunny landscapes.
