The apical leaflets are wide-fallen to fallen-oval, or elliptical to almost circular, with a length of 1 to 2 cm, a width of 8 to 15 mm, and the tip is often slightly recessed. The flowers appear on the leaf buds, have almost no pattern, and attach 2-4 pieces together. The flowers are 7 to 8 mm long, the petals are white, and there is a pair of reddish purple spots near the central base of the flag valve. One to three closed flowers arrive at the top of the stem. The heel is 3 to 4 mm long and has many standing hairs, and the fissure is 2.5 to 3 mm long and needle-like. The nodules are broad egg-shaped with dense hair lying on the tip, and the length is 3 to 4 mm. Closed flowers have better fruiting.

Water: Pilose lespedeza thrives with moderate water availability, needing weekly watering for optimal growth. As a deciduous plant, it enters dormancy in colder months, requiring less frequent watering during this period.
Fertilize: Use balanced fertilizers for pilose lespedeza, applying bimonthly during growing seasons. Adjust amounts according to the season—heavier in spring, lighter in fall. Apply at the base and water thoroughly. This method promotes healthy growth and flowering while minimizing risks for all gardeners.
Pruning: Pilose lespedeza is an upright shrub with delicate leaflets. Prune in early to late spring to promote healthy growth and flowering. Start by removing dead branches and thinning dense areas for air circulation. Regular pruning enhances vitality and prevents damage from crossing branches.
Propagation: Pilose lespedeza is a perennial legume that prefers well-drained soils and full sunlight. To propagate, scarify seeds for germination, then sow in a seedbed with light soil coverage. Maintain moisture without flooding. Transplant seedlings with true leaves and strong roots to their final location.
