This beautiful broom with delicate orange flowers is essential in any garden.
A compact, dense, low-growing shrub reaching 100/150 cm in height. Abundant flowering in may / june.
It is drought-resistant and hardy to -25ºC. Bees and butterflies love this plant when it is in bloom. Well-drained soil, preferably acidic. It thrives best in poor, sandy soil in a sunny spot.
Dig a hole at least two or three times as wide and deep as the root ball. Take out the plant from the container and loosen roots to allow them to spread out in all direction. Cut possible broken roots. Mix the soil extracted with a substrate and fill part of the hole with the mixture obtained. Place the plant in the hole and cover with the remaining mixture. Compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
