Bush CloverHowever!
There's an upside to run off, too...
As we ride our horses along the trails in Park City, we see the fun results of dedicated gardeners living atop the many hills. Wildflower seeds are running downhill, too, sprouting in the most unlikely places.
Which is why we are currently blessed with fall blooming, Bush Clover
.
It’s a graceful plant, ultra xeric, with a weeping, mounded habit. Pretty pink flowers begin to bloom in late summer and will continue until the first hard frost. It absolutely loves dry, infertile soil and hot, hot sun. (Which is probably why it made the great escape from their well-sprinkled gardens!)
Bush Clover: Lespedeza thunbergii 'Gibraltar' and Lespedeza thunbergii 'Pink Fountains' are 2 great varieties for Southwest xeric gardens. USDA zones: 4-8, grows to approximately 4-5 feet in a waterwise garden. (If you give it a drink, it will surely die.)

ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask how your volunteer bush clover is doing.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
ReplyDeleteI found this post by Googling bush clover pink fountains. I have the opportunity to buy a plant in the morning, but need to figure out if I have room and a dry spot for it.
