IMAGE SHOWS A MATURE SHRUB
 
An underutilized but rather attractive shrub with numerous attributes; very fine-textured foliage, small yellow flowers in spring, consistent upright habit and extreme adaptability to cold, dry windy sites; an outstanding hedge plant, great in groupings.
Pygmy Caragana has masses of beautiful gold pea-like flowers with orange overtones hanging below the branches from mid to late spring, which are most effective when planted in groupings. It has grayish green foliage throughout the season. The pinnately compound needle-like leaves do not develop any appreciable fall colour.
