Flowering shrubs are a great addition to any garden setting as they are capable of becoming landscape classics within a few seasons. A durable perennial shrub that I have enjoyed in my garden for many years is Scotch Broom. Cytisus scoparius is native to western and central Europe and is a member of the Fabaceae plant family. Scotch Broom displays numerous golden blooms each spring without fail. The dense flowering shrub is capable of reaching heights over 10 ft., is full sun and drought tolerant. Choose a sunny side of your garden to plant this easy to grow favorite. Cheers
