Carmichaelia stevensonii

Previously known as Chordospartium stevensonii, the rare Weeping broom from New Zealand looks entirely dead when very young (straw brown shoots), but matures to be an elegant beauty, making a medium to large shrub here, with weeping whipcord like branches, devoid of leaves. Racemes of white to pale-pink pea flowers, each with a deep purple-pink blotch in summer. Generally hardy in the UK with modern winters, to -10c or so, but requiring sun and well drained soil. This makes a tree to 8m tall in the very few places it grows wild in NE South Island, New Zealand.
