Bush Clover 'Gibraltar' 3 Gallon

Lespedeza thunbergii

Bush Clover is a semi-woody shrub with arching branches. Bluish-green leaves are lost in the winter. Stems may die to the ground in harsh winters in zone 6. Established plants will regrow from the ground 3 to 6 feet in the spring. 'Gibraltar' blooms in late summer to early fall with dusky pink flowers, causing branches to droop nearly to the ground. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Little pruning is needed, but it can be cut hard, down to the ground, in late winter or early spring for a fresh start. Fertilize in early spring and mid-summer with a slow release fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. Plant with Potentilla, Boxwood and Grasses. A Proven Winners® variety.
