This is a vigorous, twining climber with pinnate leaves, each composed of 11-19 ovate to lance-shaped leaflets. In late spring, pea-like fragrant, blue to violet, pink, or white flowers, the standards marked with white and yellow, are produced in pendent racemes, to 12in. or more long, the flowers opening gradually from the bases to the tips before or as the leaves emerge. They are followed by bean-like, velvety green seed pods to 6in.
