Nursery contributed plant descriptions

STERILE according to several sources. Beautiful garnet red flowers with brownish wing petals narrowly margined in gold on this lovely selection. A vigorous grower. Cut back after flowering to prevent seed production, so the plant can put all of it's energy into the plant rather than the offspring! Like all brooms, good for difficult sites. Expect winter damage, dying back to the ground in colder areas, but they usually recover fine if the soil is well-drained. Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Botanical Society.
