Description
This rounded and compact deciduous shrub grows can quickly reach 5'-6' tall and wide. Leaves are small and green, densely covering the plant. Long sprays of pea-like, yellow flowers cover the plant in spring. It does best in full sun and is drought tolerant once it's established. It also tolerates ocean spray. This is a great plant for mass planting.

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
