Lespedeza thunbergii 'Spilt Milk' (Variegated Bush Clover)

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

(syn: L. 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, and irregularly speckled with large, creamy 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 mid-summer, then again in late September with terminal clusters of lavender flowers...very choice! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
