More Information About Sophora

Sophora species are widely used in traditional medicine, but we grow them just for their good looks. Like all plants in the family Fabaceae, sophora produces seed pods containing beans/peas. Sophora beans are sometimes fairly large, brightly colored and when dried can be used to make rosaries.

Most Sophora species have compound leaves with small leaflets that give the plant a fine texture. Sophora plants produce upright, racemous clusters of wisteria-like flowers that are sometimes quite fragrant. Generally, sophora species live in dry, woodland or rocky locales and prefer hot conditions.
