Siberian peatree
Caragana arborescens
Siberian peashrub is an exceptionally hardy deciduous shrub that tolerates cold, drought, wind, and poor soils with ease, making it ideal for challenging landscape sites. It produces cheerful yellow pea-like flowers in spring and is often used as a windbreak, hedge, or wildlife shrub in northern climates. Plant in full sun to partial shade, prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, and enjoy its near-zero maintenance requirements.
