Lespedeza thunbergii 'Spilt Milk' (Variegated Bush Clover)

Sun to Part SunZone: 4-9 48" tall Origin: Japan

Open House/Web-Only! (syn: Lespedeza thunbergii 'Variegata') We are always on the lookout for plants whose foliage extends the season of interest well beyond their flowering season, and one such plant is Lespedeza thunbergii 'Spilt Milk'. This Japanese selection has foliage that is heavily, consistently speckled with large creamy irregular flecks. The attractive leaves are held along the arching stems, tinged dark purple as they grow. The 4' tall x 6' wide deciduous clumps are topped in midsummer, then again in late September, with terminal clusters of lavender flowers...very choice! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
