Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A tough and cold hardy character for the sunny garden, this broom has been self sterile in our Portland garden so no seedlings like scotch broom. To 5 ft x 6 ft wide, textural green stems with tiny green leaves covered in late spring with fascinating bicolor pink and deep red pea flowers. Tolerates heat and periodic drought but best with occasional summer water where dry. Great as a foundation planting or low hedge. Sun to light shade in well drained soil. USDA zone 6b.
