Upright stems spring from the ground in spring, rising to 2 to 3' while topping themselves with large, stem-ending buds. Buds open in late May revealing striking yellow, pea-like flowers that are a magnet for native pollinators and butterflies. Easy to grow with great foliage color! Planting this species in close proximity to black walnut trees may result in less favorable performance.
