Scotch Broom Sister Rosie® 3 Gallon

Cytisus scoparius

Scotch Broom is a low maintenance, flowering shrub family with a round, mounding habit and thin, green stems that are riotous with fragrant, pea-flowers in late spring/early summer. Sister Rosie Scotch broom brings more to your garden: more color, more flowers, more texture! In spring, the plant springs back to life with hundreds of pea-shaped flowers in dusky pink with red and yellow lips. Excellent in dry, well-drained soil planted in groups or as a hedge. Small, bright green foliage on the stems gives Broom a fine texture, and unique profile in the garden. This is an excellent choice for dry butterfly or cottage gardens. These plants tend to thrive on neglect once established, using them in drier, sandy areas such as rock gardens, mixed borders with little irrigation, and containers. Plant in well-drained, sandy soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Prune or shear back immediately after flowering to control size, and remove stray shoots or damaged limbs anytime. Remove 1/4 of old stems from the base each year. Feed at least twice during the growing season with a slow release fertilizer in early spring and again mid-summer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. A Proven Winners® plant.
