	A showy evergreen scrambling shrub that can reach 3m in height. The compound leaves are mid green and rounded at the tip. The flowers are bright yellow and form a spectacular show as they completely cover the foliage in Autumn. Cylindrical green pods follow with abundance of seeds.

HOW IT SPREADS Seeds are spread by birds, insects, water and gravity. The plentiful seed ensures that even those that fall close to the bush maintain the invasive population.

	Grown for a combination of its interesting foliage and flowers. There are no visible leaves on the wiry angular branches that are often weeping. Yellow pea shaped flowers appear in the summer months making an eye catching display.

	A spectacular new cultivar of this local favourite. With dense fine foliage this plant can be used as an effective screen or equally well as a feature. It is covered in masses of yellow flowers in winter-spring but has all round appeal due to the attractive foliage and growth habit.
