Indigofera howellii (syn. subverticillata)

A superb new species from China. Long racemes of vivid, warm-pink flowers project semi-horizontally from the typical attractive pinnate foliage over a long period in summer and autumn. Hardy in sun and well drained soil, being nipped back only lightly by the very coldest winters. Approx 2m high, though can be pruned to the ground each year if desired.
