Lespedeza thunbergii 'White Fountain' (White Bush Clover)
Sun to Part SunZone: 4-9 72" tall Origin: Japan
This stunning bush clover was introduced and named by Nancy Goodwin at Montrose, who found this on her property and realized it was much better than the L. thunbergii 'Albiflora' of the trade (earlier flowering and no color reversions). Cut to the ground in the spring, this 6' tall x 12' wide grower will resprout rapidly, akin to the proverbial beanstalk. In late summer and into the fall, the weeping branch tips are clothed in sprays of white pea-like flowers! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
