  • Description

  • Notes

Siberian Peashrubs are tough, old-fashioned deciduous shrubs well suited to a low-water garden. Leaves are light green and pinnately compounded, with a yellow fall color. Flowers are yellow, appearing in early to mid May, pea-like, and borne singularly or in clusters. Flowers are followed by seed pods, at first yellow-green but changing to brown. The weeping form is generally grafted onto a standard, so height varies, but usuallly under 8 feet tall and maybe wider.
