Astragalus zoharyi

Astragalus zoharyi is a small woody subshrub in the pea family, native to the cool temperate mountains of north-eastern Iraq and western Iran. It is a specialist wild species rarely grown in gardens, so care relies on general milk-vetch knowledge: give it full sun, sharp drainage and little water.
