Quick Facts :: Growing Tips

Full and Afternoon Sun Morning Sun and Afternoon Shade Xeric  Legend

Description:

12” x 4’ wide (cutting propagated). The profuse yellow flowers of Genista lydia completely smother the plant, making this small shrub a highlight of the spring garden. The plant has distinctive cascading evergreen stems that mold beautifully around boulders and drape gracefully over ledges. Genista lydia is a slow but steady grower, putting on 3-5” of growth at the tips of the branches each spring, eventually forming an impressive groundcover-like shrub. Nice for use on hot, sunny slopes when planted close together on 18” centers. Not picky about its soil as long as it’s well-drained. Zones 4-10.

Special Notes:

Plant with Rhus aromatica ‘Gro-Low’, Atemisia frigida and Stachys lanata!
