A fast-growing medium-sized evergreen shrub with palmate grey-green leaves composed of leaflets, silky-hairy beneath, and fragrant, yellow flowers in erect racemes to 30cm in length in late Spring and Summer. Ideal for cottage and informal gardens, wildflower meadows, flower borders and beds.
Prefers well-drained, sandy soil; best in full sun but can be grown in partial shade. Likely to need shelter in colder areas with prolonged heavy frost. No pruning generally required and not troubled by pests like standard herbaceous lupins.
All parts, particularly the seeds, may cause severe discomfort if ingested.
Height: 1.5 - 2.5 m Spread: 1.5 - 2.5 m
