The Story
Common Name: Weeping Broom
Latin Name: Genista spachiana
Plant Type: Evergreen shrub
Description: Genista spachiana is an elegant evergreen shrub with slender, arching green stems and fine, airy foliage that gives the plant a graceful, fountain-like habit. In late winter and spring it becomes covered in masses of small, bright yellow pea-like flowers that create a cheerful and highly decorative display.
Garden Impact: Its light, arching form adds movement and brightness to sunny borders, Mediterranean-style gardens and sheltered walls. The early flowering season brings valuable colour when many other plants are still dormant.
Light & Water Requirements: Thrives in full sun in well-drained soil and tolerates dry conditions once established.
Size (Fully Grown): Height 1.5–2m, Spread 1.5–2m
