You might have to bend down to get a really closeup look at the flowers of Indigofera kirilowii (Chinese indigo). Sprays of pretty pink pea-like flowers cover the underside of stems in spring.
This plant travels slowly but is deep rooted, it has been said that it could be used as a ground cover under live oaks. Mine is in the circle where it is hard to dig out & seen here under a crape myrtle. Blooms well in both places. Probably would be best with its own space.
A cousin of the true indigo plant used for that blue dye
Styrax japonicus
Asian Snowbell has spring flowers hanging under the branches. Faintly fragrant and needing some shade in the afternoon.
I got this as a seedling tree at the Master Gardener plant sale at the Pitt County Arboretum several years ago. This is its first year of full bloom.
