Shrub lespedeza, also known as Bush clover, Silky bush-clover, Chinese bush-clover, Shrubby lespedeza
Shrub lespedeza is a deciduous shrub known for its nitrogen-fixing ability and arching branches. Pruning should focus on removing dead or diseased wood, thinning out crowded areas, and shaping for aesthetic appeal. Optimal pruning occurs in early spring or winter during dormancy. This maximizes blooming on new wood and maintains plant health. Specific considerations include making clean cuts and avoiding over-pruning to prevent stress on shrub lespedeza.
