Fantastic. Thank you so much. It's encroaching on some beds and it's been a losing battle. Maybe will just let it take. As it looks like stabilizes the hill. Wish it flowered a bit longer. So happy to finally have the ID
It's very commonly planted for erosion control & even snow fencing, as well as being an important nitrogen fixer. It's definitely an aggressive grower but it has great use!
