Description
Cytisus scoparius (Scotch Broom) is a deciduous, flowering shrub known for its brilliant spring display of pea-like flowers and its fine-textured, upright to arching habit. In late spring to early summer, the shrub is covered in bright yellow flowers, sometimes with orange or red markings, creating a striking seasonal show.
The foliage is small and sparse, allowing the green, broom-like stems to remain visible throughout the growing season. In fall, leaves may turn yellow before dropping, revealing the plant’s distinctive structure. Scotch Broom thrives in poor, sandy, or well-drained soils, is drought-tolerant once established, and prefers full sun.
