Notes
Moroccan broom (Argyrocytisus battandieri) is a shrub for borders, screens, and fragrant garden spots. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It bears yellow flowers from early to late summer. The blooms are fragrant, so plant it near a path or seat. It grows 10 to 20 feet tall, so give it room to spread.
Pairs well with Italian cypress, Tuberose, Greig's tulip, and Chocolate cosmos.
