Couldn’t believe my eyes whilst visiting the local GC when suddenly spied the so called “Rhobinia” but sporting the real name….."Indigo indigofera himalayensis.Silk Road!!!!…..There it was in full flower! I feel I do have to apologise to all of you who helped with identifying the shrub.So sorry!……looking at “silk road” it does ring a distant bell!!!!!! If any of you find it for sale in your GC do buy it.It is so pretty!

Needs plenty of room though - grown it myself, had to take it out after 5 years... Needs a sheltered spot.
