Plant details
This attractive North American shrub quickly develops into a thicket of arching stems, growing from suckers, and tolerates most kinds of soil, especially poorer dry areas where other shrubs might fail. The long slender shoots are rather brittle, so shelter from strong wind is advisable, while firm pruning after flowering helps to keep growth compact and bushy. It is an excellent choice for a warm, sheltered wall, where its arching stems are laden for seven to eight weeks with short, wisteria-like trusses of richly-coloured pea flowers. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
