Name of shrub?

Posted by JoAnnaLee MI (My Page) on

I have a shrub in my yard that people can't seem to identify, including me! It has smooth, non-shiny green leaves, alternating in shoots of three. It cascades out into a half fan shape. In the Spring it has tiny lavender flowers. In the Fall it develops big black pods. It is very hardy.

I know I may have to take and post a picture, but if anyone has any idea what this is I'd much appreciate your input. My multiple web searches have been fruitless.

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like Baptisia, aka False Indigo, but that's a herbaceous perennial, not a woody shrub. Unless there's a form of it that is woody?
