Description

Cytisus is a genus of flowering shrubs in the Fabaceae family, commonly known as brooms. These deciduous to evergreen shrubs are native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, and are known for their showy, pea-like flowers that bloom in the spring or summer. The flowers can range in color from white and yellow to pink and purple, and are typically arranged in dense, elongated clusters along the stems. Cytisus shrubs are relatively easy to grow and prefer well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. They are commonly used in garden borders, rock gardens, and as specimen plants, and can be pruned to maintain a more compact shape. Some popular species of Cytisus include C. scoparius (common broom), C. praecox (spring-blooming broom), and C. x praecox (hybrid broom).
