I walk past this beautiful patch of bushes on Parmer (near Metric) a couple times a week and I just love them! I tried some googling and came up with "golden shower bush" but I'm pretty skeptical about that ID (and really who would name a plant that… Lol)
Does anyone know anything more about this bush? What's it like year round, water requirements, frost resilience, annoying things, etc? It looks so great here that there has to be a drawback, otherwise I think I'd see it a lot more often around town!

Looks like Thyrallis. I have one in a raised bed. Outside of water, haven’t done anything to it and it’s come back the last two years without issue.
Yeah second thryallis. Golden shower is the common name I think. I’ve seen them at Shoal Creek nursery before if you want some!
Golden shower grows great in Austin. We got one last year and it’s 4 to 5 times the size one year later. Beautiful and attracts tons of pollinators to our vegetable garden.
