About
Campylotropis macrocarpa is a deciduous shrub that displays a relaxed, cascading growth form. Its distinctive leaves are trifoliate and exhibit a mid-green hue. During the mid to late summer months, this plant produces numerous purple-white, pea-shaped flowers that line its branches. As autumn arrives, the foliage transitions to a golden-yellow color before falling.
