Notes
'Pink Cascade' bush clover (Lespedeza thunbergii 'Pink Cascade') is a shrub for borders, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Its arching stems reach about 48 inches tall and spread at least 48 inches wide, and pink flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds. It sits low on the menu for deer. It also tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Indian grass, Golden Tiara hosta, and Ornamental onion.
