Brooms are tough old battlers, putting up with dry unpromising conditions and putting on a show of golden flowers through spring and into summer. They love it hot and sunny, which is great for most of us!
Note: this is called dwarf broom, which means that it's smaller than the regular broom. It will still get to around head height, maybe higher in favourable environments, to give you masses of colour.

USE IN: Containers, beds, borders for brilliant display of colour.
LOCATION: This shrub prefers full sun; will tolerate some shade but flowering may be reduced. Plant in free draining soil of any kind. Happy in dry outback air. Most cytisus are frost-hardy; this one may need frost-free conditions so please test its hardiness!
