Yellow restharrow is a drought-tolerant subshrub from the Mediterranean and southern Europe that produces cheerful yellow pea-like flowers over a long summer season. It thrives in poor, well-drained soils under full sun to partial shade and requires very little watering or fertilisation once established. An excellent choice for gravel gardens, rock gardens, or dry borders where few other plants will perform.
