Globe Siberian Peashrub

Globe Siberian peashrub is the rounded, compact form of Caragana frutex, with small compound leaves, yellow pea-like flowers in late spring to early summer and bright yellow fall foliage. Its tidy outline and slow growth distinguish it from taller peashrubs. ## Size and siting [Oregon State University](https://landscapeplants.oregonstate.edu/plants/caragana-frutex-globosa) lists this exact selection at about 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide, with yellow flowers and hardiness to USDA zone 2. It grows in full sun or light shade and is very cold hardy. A [Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District garden profile](https://conservationgardenpark.jvwcd.gov/plants/314/globe-peashrub/) confirms occasional late-spring to early-summer bloom and 3–4 feet mature size. Oregon State gives the common names Globe Russian Peashrub and Globe Caragana. ## Garden use Place it in a shrub border, foundation planting or small-space garden. ## Maintenance Water while establishing, then use moderate irrigation in well-drained soil. Allow the rounded framework to develop; remove dead or crossing stems and avoid frequent shearing.
