30 Seeds Siberian Peashrub Caragana arborescens Cold Hardy Shrub Nitrogen Fixing

Siberian Peashrub is a cold hardy, deciduous shrub or small tree grown for its fine fern-like foliage and bright yellow spring blooms. It forms a dense, upright habit and adapts well to a range of challenging conditions, making it a useful choice for windbreaks, hedges, and naturalized plantings.
In the landscape, Caragana arborescens works well as an ornamental specimen, informal hedge, or shelterbelt planting, and its pea-like flowers give way to small seed pods later in the season. It tolerates poor soils and dry sites once established, and as a legume it supports soil through nitrogen fixation, making it a practical addition to mixed plantings and restoration areas.
