30 Seeds Roundhead Bush Clover Lespedeza capitata Native Prairie Wildflower Pollinator Meadow
Roundhead Bush Clover is a native prairie perennial known for its rounded, clover-like flower heads that mature into attractive brown seed clusters lasting into winter. It offers a natural, meadow-style look and is well suited to wildflower plantings, native gardens, and informal landscapes.
This versatile native works well in pollinator gardens, meadow mixes, and naturalized areas, where its upright bushy habit provides structure and seasonal interest.
