oh is it a Siberian pea shrub? did some researching lol and is the nearest I could find .
thanks Sara all I have read says it flowers in may/june which has confused me to thinking it may not be that ... mine is flowering and seeding now.
As it is a native of Siberia Sue maybe it's finding our mild winter more like a Siberian summer hence it's flowering now. I think you can cut it down lowish if it is getting too big and it will grow up again. Interesting plant.
thanks I have three of them here two in flower and seed pods formed other nothing, . . . apparently they grow very fast so a cut back I think will be necessary, flowers have gorgeous fragrance and I read actually the flower and beans are edible once cooked have to experiment haa.
