1.5 Litre Pot (P13)
25–30cm Supplied Height
Plant Highlights: Abundant soft yellow spring flowers • Compact, bushy growth • Excellent for sunny gardens • Well suited to borders, gravel gardens and containers
Overview
Cytisus scoparius ‘Vanesse’ is a compact broom selected for its masses of soft yellow flowers that cover the slender green stems in late spring. Its naturally tidy habit makes it an excellent choice where space is limited, bringing bright seasonal colour to borders, gravel gardens and sunny patio containers.
Like other brooms, it performs best in open, sunny positions with free-draining soil. Once established, it copes well with dry conditions, making it a useful choice for low-water planting schemes. The fine green stems continue to provide texture after flowering and combine well with lavender, cistus and ornamental grasses.

Growing Guide
Position
Choose a sunny, open position for the best flowering. Too much shade will reduce the number of blooms and encourage looser growth.
Soil
Plant in well-drained soil. Cytisus dislikes prolonged winter wet, so improve drainage if planting in heavy clay.
Watering
Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish the root system. Once established, water only during extended dry periods. Container-grown plants will need more frequent checks.
Pruning
Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a neat shape. Avoid cutting back into old, leafless wood, as regeneration can be poor.
