Lespedeza ‘Little Volcano’ puts on quite a show each fall. Here it is in the garden this fall in full bloom. This amazing dieback perennial reaches an amazing 7′ tall x 15′ wide in good soils and full sun. Our friend Ted Stephens is responsible for bringing this gem from Japan to US gardeners.

Hello. I have this plant. It is amazing. First winter. Zone 7A NW Alabama. After die back this winter, do I prune it to the ground?
It dies to the ground in winter, so just clip off the dead stalks in early spring.
