Notes
Warminster broom (Cytisus kewensis) is a low shrub for rock gardens, slopes, and borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. White flowers open in late spring and early summer and have a sweet fragrance. It is drought tolerant, and the stems spread wide as they grow, so give it room.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Euonymus, and Buffalo grass.
