Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A showy & sturdy little member of the Legume family. Growing to about 3’ tall & very multi-branching, it bears pretty & interesting shiny yellow outward facing flowers that curl upwards & out. The buds look like perfectly round fairy lanterns & are also pretty. Quite a heavy bloomer, too. Adds a tropical look to the garden & works well in a container.
