Caragana Arborescens (Siberian Pea Shrub)

$14.00$53.00

The Siberian Pea Shrub is a restoration superhero with cute yellow blooms. It is very adaptable to many environmental conditions and has been used for erosion control as the plants have an extensive root system. It is also a nitrogen-fixing species that can alter soil conditions.

In addition to what it can do to restore the soil, it also has another superstar quality, which is how it can thrive in crummy situations. The Caragana Arborescens is tolerant of infertile soils, cold, winter temperatures, and drought conditions. It tolerates alkaline soils and deicing salt. So, if you are looking for a flowering shrub that requires little maintenance and has restorative properties, you’ve found it.

Siberian Pea is deciduous and grows as a large shrub or small tree up to 15 feet tall. They prefer full sun but can also tolerate some shade.

It should be noted that although those looking for a hardy and tolerant shrub will love this plant, others may have a different feeling. With a tolerance to crummy conditions means that this plant can become prolific in ideal growing environments, so some may find it to have invasive qualities. Also, if you have dogs that make a habit of eating foliage, this could cause stomach upset for them.

Fun Fact: During World War II, the Siberian peasants reportedly carried their chicken flocks through the winter by feeding these plants to them.
