Lespedeza repens, common names creeping lespedeza, creeping bush-clover, and trailing lespedeza, is a plant native to the eastern and central United States and northeastern Mexico.[1] It is listed as a species of special concern in Connecticut and as rare in New York.[2] It is a perennial herb which blooms May to September. Its habitats include open woods, clearings, and thickets.[3]
The stems of L. repens grow up to 1 meter (approximately 3.3 feet) in length. Its leaves get smaller as they progress towards the tips of the stem.[4]
