January 26, 2007, Newsletter Issue #145: Spartium: Spanish Broom

Tip of the Week

The Spanish broom grows to about 6 ft tall, has bright green rush-like stems and sweet smelling bright yellow pea-shaped blooms all summer.
Regular pruning is essential to keep this shrub in good shape. During March, cut all the whippy sidegrowths back to 1 " from the main stems and always remove the faded blooms.
