Broom

Description

An upright shrub with slender green shoots bearing small, ternate leaves and axillary clusters of bright yellow flowers in late spring that carry a vanilla scent.
This shrub is common on heaths, open woodlands, hedgerows and can also be found at the coast.

Growing Conditions:
Grows well in any well drained soil in full sun.

Value To Wildlife:
Good for insects and is one of the foodplants of the Green Hairstreak Butterfly.

Important Note:
You’ll receive a 2 year old well established whip that’s between 20 to 60cm in height.
This is a deciduous tree and so will shed its leaves in autumn, in order to protect itself from the cold winter weather. Come spring, it’ll burst back into bud and begin to flourish once more.
