Dark blue edible berries in early summer attract birds and are good in pies and jellies. Sun but not against south or west wall, amended soil, moderate water. Would benefit from mulching or ground cover at base. Better adapted to this area. Deciduous shrub 3-8 feet by 5 feet.
Height depends on moisture.
Multiple branches have pea like compound leaves and a purple spike flower in the spring. Any soil type full sun, drought tolerant to periodic watering. These scarlet tubular flowers bloom periodically all summer and attract hummingbirds. Thrives in sunny hot areas with monthly deep watering. Late to leaf out.
