broom

Overview

Broom (Genista spachiana) is an outstanding shrub due to its amazing properties. It has a low-growing, wiry habit and produces yellow flowers that appearover an extended period throughout the summer. Its evergreen, thin leaves are impressive and it is virtually care-free when planted in sunny, well-drained soils with regular water. This hardy and drought tolerant shrub can withstand temperatures as low as –10°C, making it a great option for cooler climates. Its root system is strong and makes it a great windbreak hedge. Broom is a beautiful addition to a garden and will attract butterflies, bees, and other wildlife. Its invasive potential is low, so it is ideal for a garden that is not always managed.
