Gibraltar Bush Clover Live Plant – 3 Gallon Pot

Gibraltar Bush Clover (Lespedeza thunbergii ‘Gibraltar’) is an ornamental flowering shrub valued for its graceful, arching branches and abundant rosy-purple to magenta-pink flowers. Its pea-shaped blossoms appear in clusters during late summer and autumn, creating a colorful display when many other landscape plants are finishing their flowering season.

This deciduous bush clover develops a broad, cascading growth habit with slender stems and small, trifoliate green leaves. Its arching form makes it attractive in mixed shrub borders, cottage gardens, slopes, and naturalistic landscape plantings. The late-season flowers can also attract bees and other visiting pollinators.

This listing includes one live Gibraltar Bush Clover in a 3 gallon nursery pot, approximately 15 inches tall at the time of shipping. It grows best in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it generally tolerates occasional dry conditions and is well suited to sunny ornamental landscapes.
