Weeping Caragana

FamilyFabaceae

Caragana arborescens ‘Pendula’, also known as the weeping pea shrub, is a very decorative grafted form of the Siberian pea shrub, cultivated for its elegant and structured weeping habit. Its fine, light green foliage forms a soft, dense cascade, creating a graphic focal point, ideal for small gardens, rockeries, or entrances. In spring, it is covered with bright yellow flowers, followed by narrow pods that turn brown in summer. Very hardy, drought-resistant, tolerant of poor soils and pollution, it maintains a compact and tidy silhouette with little maintenance. It is an architectural and minimalist tree, perfect for adding an original touch to Nordic landscapes, even in difficult conditions.
