Notes
'Royal Gold' dyer's broom (Genista tinctoria 'Royal Gold') is a shrub for rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy soil. It grows slowly and has an erect habit. It is drought tolerant, so it suits dry, sunny spots once settled in.
Pairs well with Woolly yarrow, Blue grama, and Blue Star common juniper.
