Description of the plant:
The most popular form of flowers are racemes. Golden rain is a perfect example with its long racemes of deep yellow pea-like flowers. This species makes very dense, 10-30 cm long racemes of yellow flowers. Clover-like leaves are bright to mid green, 3-palmate. This medimum sized shrub slowly grows about 3-5m high and little less wide, solitary specimens in parks can reach max. 8m. Pruning not needed but if you wish to maintain a size or shape you can cut off unwanted branches and twigs in the middle of winter or early in the spring. It prefers less fertile soil, it tolerates drought and will not grow in too moist a place. A sunny location is needed. All parts are highly toxic if ingested. Fully hardy.SIZES and PRICES
