Pea-family shrub native to the eastern half of the United States. It has also colonized in the western half, and is considered a noxious weed in Washington. Our single specimen, grown from seed a number of years ago, still lives in our holding zone. Just this year, it shot up to all of a sudden become a lanky adolescent shrub - and is blooming with its odd lax spikes.
