Scotch Broom

Cascading green branches and sulfur-yellow, pea-shaped flowers give this shrub year-round appeal. Deciduous shrub makes a nice specimen, accent or group planting. Prune immediately after flowering or in late winter while still dormant. Does not transplant well. Prefers moderately fertile, well-drained soil.
