There is a plant I grew from an un-named packet from the HPS and I'd
really like to know what it is. It has beautiful foliage - almost
lacy, and delicate. Its pale green and obviously very hardy. It is
not deciduous and has looked nice all winter but has just started
putting on spurt. Its flowers which appear in Spring are
insignificant, like a small yellow/grey pod but not bright yellow. It
seeds itself all over the place.
Any ideas please?


Can you tell us how big it is and where you live? Your remark that it's not
deciduous leads me to think you're talking of a shrub. In which case, could
it be Coronilla?

I am in the North West. I can't imagine it being described as a shrub,
more a herbaceous perennial except that it does not die down in
winter. The leaves are quite lovely, delicate with lacily cut shape.
The flower really is incidental and very small. In one brick built
trough where there is a slow growing conifer in the middle it is
growing like mad in the soil at the side, maybe because there is a lot
of good home made compost in there. Diana
