Cytisus Allgold, commonly known as the ‘Broom’ and holder of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, is a beautiful and hardy deciduous shrub that is native to Europe. With its bright yellow flowers and attractive green foliage, it is a popular choice for gardens and landscapes.

One of the key features of Cytisus Allgold is its bright yellow flowers, which bloom in the late Spring and early Summer. These flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, making it a great choice for a wildlife-friendly garden. The green foliage of the plant is also attractive, providing a nice contrast to the bright flowers.

How to care for your Cytisus Allgold

1. Planting: Prefers well-drained soil and full sun. When planting, make sure to choose a location that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
2. Watering: Once established, is quite drought tolerant. It’s important to water it well right after planting, but after that, only water it if you notice the soil is dry.
3. Fertilising: Does not require regular fertilisation, but if you notice that the plant is not producing as many flowers as usual, you can fertilise with a balanced fertiliser.
4. Pruning: It can be pruned to shape and control size. It’s best to prune it right after it finishes blooming.
5. Overwintering: It is hardy down to -15˚C, so it should be able to survive most Winters without any special protection. In colder climates, you can mulch the base of the plant to protect it from extreme cold.

By following these simple care tips, your Cytisus Allgold should continue to thrive and provide you with bright yellow flowers for many years to come.
