Thermopsis Macrophylla Var. Argentata

Silverleaf thermopsis, scientifically known as Thermopsis macrophylla var. argentata, is a strikingly beautiful flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of western North America. Its most distinctive feature is its silvery-green foliage, which gives it its common name and sets it apart from other members of the legume family. This perennial plant is known for its tall, spindly stems that bear clusters of bright yellow, pea-like flowers in the spring. It thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it a popular choice for rock gardens and alpine settings. Despite its ornamental appeal, it is also valued for its ecological role in supporting pollinators and contributing to local biodiversity.
