Caragana arborescens 'Walker', also known as Walker weeping caragana, is a highly ornamental grafted selection, appreciated for its very pronounced weeping habit and extremely fine, almost filamentous foliage. It forms an elegant, cascading silhouette, perfect for creating an architectural accent in small gardens, rockeries, flowerbeds, or entrances. In spring, it is covered with bright yellow flowers typical of Siberian pea shrub, followed by narrow pods in summer. Very hardy, 'Walker' is perfect for difficult conditions: it tolerates drought, poor soils, and wind, while requiring little maintenance. Its light and very finely cut foliage, combined with its graphic habit, makes it a safe bet for modern or minimalist gardens.
