Bush Clover

The perfect shrub to create a fall finale. A fountain of thousands of rosy purple, pea-like flowers line the weeping stems of this large, arching shrub with attractive blue-green foliage. Plant at the top of a wall or slope where it can grow naturally into a large, beautiful mass of color. Cut back completely in spring.
