Thermopsis: Members of the pea family with the familiar shaped flowers and leaves. Good early summer colour from plants that do like to run, but in our experience aren't hard to pull up and keep in check. Said to be poisonous if eaten. Propagate by seed sown like sweet peas (autumn or spring) or division in spring.

 Thermopsis
rhombifolia var. montana:
The individual leaflets are distinctly rhomboid or diamond-shaped and both
the leaves and stems have an inky hue. The bright yellow
flowers appear in June on 2ft tall stems. Likes some sun but not
too fussy about soil type. Grows well in our dry sandy soil. Does run but
not hard to pull up if it strays beyond its bounds.
Common name: Yellow Pea In 1881 Volume 15 of "The
Gardener" in its section on "Choice New Or Rare Hardy
Flowers" describes it thus: "A very handsome species, with large
Lupine-like flowers, bright yellow, and very showy in terminal racemes.
The plant is vigorous, growing to the height of about 18 inches"
