30 Seeds Roundhead Bush Clover Lespedeza capitata Native Wildflower
Roundhead Bush Clover (Lespedeza capitata) is a native perennial wildflower prized for its rounded, clover-like flower heads and its role in meadow and prairie plantings. It produces dense clusters of small creamy-white to pale pink blooms atop upright stems, adding late-season texture and interest to naturalized landscapes.
This clover-like plant works well in pollinator gardens, native plant beds, meadow restorations, and low-maintenance borders. Its deep-rooted, clump-forming habit tolerates dry soils and full sun, and the dried seed heads offer winter interest. It pairs nicely with other native grasses and wildflowers.
