Cytisus: A Burst of Colour and Scent in Spring.
Cytisus, often known as broom, is one of those marvellous plants that brings a vibrant splash of colour to the garden just when it’s needed most. In late spring and early summer, it erupts into a mass of pea-like flowers in vivid shades of yellow, red, pink, or white. These blooms are often fragrant, filling the garden with a subtle, sweet scent that pairs beautifully with its bright colours. With its slender, arching branches and compact growth habit, Cytisus is perfect for sunny borders or rock gardens, adding a cheerful presence that’s hard to ignore.
