  • Soil: light, poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soil
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: March to May
  • Hardiness: fully hardy

    Masses of golden yellow, lipped flowers appear on prickly, arching grey-green leaves in May and June among slender, blue-green leaves. This compact broom forms a natural dome shape, is drought resistant, and makes an ideal companion to Mediterranean-style plants, particularly those with silvery foliage. It will also thrive in a windswept environment. It performs best on a sunny site with poor to moderately fertile soil.

    Garden care: No regular pruning is required. Take out dead and diseased branches after flowering. Replace straggly specimens with new plants.
