'BURKWOOD BROOM' Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius var. 'burkwoodii')

A nearly leafless evergreen with colorful, fragrant, pink-red, pea-like flowers in spring, the blooms of Cytisus 'Burkwoodii' begin bright red with whispers of yellow and then darken to maroon and purple-burgundy. A vigorous, bushy grower. Tolerant of wind, seashore, and infertile soil.  Very drought tolerant. Grows to 6' tall. Excellent for cut-flower use as well as using in disturbed areas and areas of poor soil, erosion, and rocky banks where other decorative shrubs languish. Visually stunning in bloom and evergreen through the winter.
