Burkwoodii

Burkwoodii Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius 'Burkwoodii') is a colorful flowering shrub prized for its masses of rich crimson-red and yellow flowers that cover its slender green stems in late spring to early summer. Growing approximately 4-5 feet tall and wide, it develops an upright, rounded habit with fine-textured foliage that gives the plant a light, airy appearance. Burkwoodii Scotch Broom makes an excellent colorful accent for sunny borders, slopes, rock gardens, and mass plantings. Its bright spring flowers attract pollinators and stand out beautifully against evergreen shrubs and other landscape plants. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and performs particularly well in hot, sunny locations with well-drained soil.

Avoid cutting heavily into old, woody stems, as Scotch Broom may not regenerate well from old wood.
