Description

This rounded and compact deciduous shrub grows can quickly reach 5'-6' tall and wide. Leaves are small and green, densely covering the plant. Long sprays of pea-like, yellow flowers cover the plant in spring. It does best in full sun and is drought tolerant once it's established. It also tolerates ocean spray. This is a great plant for mass planting.

Water Saving Tip:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
