Genista hispanica

One of the most reliable shrubs for hot and dry sites, Genista hispanica (Spanish Broom) is a spiny, gorse-like deciduous shrub with abundant clusters of bright yellow, pea-like flowers in late spring and early summer. They are born atop spiny green stems clad with small and dark green prickly leaves. Forming a dense mound, this tough and showy Mediterranean native thrives on neglect and is particularly useful on a dry bank.

Water sparingly, allowing the mix to nearly dry out between watering.
