Interesting Notes about Siberian Peashrub:

This fast-growing shrub is perfect for growing in harsh sites as in poor soils, drought conditions or to stabilize slopes. The pretty leaves and flowers decorate the landscape and also attract bees and other pollinators. The plants are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen, meaning they take nigrogen gas from the air and store it in the roots, which is good for the soil.
