Sophora flavescens HC 970082

An unusual species that behaves more like a sub shrubby perennial in our climate it is a dieback that flowers on new wood producing cylindrical panicles if creamy yellow flowers on 3’ stems. There is currently a great deal of interest in Sophora flavescens as a medicinal species, extracts from it have been shown to be affective against chronic pruritus (itching) and has been found effective in hair growth. Both of these studies are apparently serious research not herbal craziness.
