The Cytisus x praecox ‘Albus,’ commonly known as White Broom, is a graceful, fast-growing shrub known for its arching branches and profusion of delicate white flowers in spring. With its fine-textured foliage and drought tolerance, this low-maintenance plant is an excellent choice for adding texture, movement, and seasonal color to any landscape.
Foliage: The slender, green stems of White Broom are adorned with small, narrow leaves that create an airy, wispy appearance. The semi-evergreen foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season and provides a delicate contrast to its abundant floral display.
Flowers: In spring, White Broom produces masses of fragrant, pea-like white flowers that cover its arching branches. The profusion of blooms creates a stunning, cloud-like effect, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The flowers provide an early-season burst of brightness that enlivens garden beds and borders.
Growth Habit: Reaching 4-5 feet tall and wide, White Broom has a graceful, arching growth habit that adds softness and movement to the landscape. Its loosely structured form makes it ideal for informal gardens, rock gardens, or naturalized settings.
Climate: Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, White Broom is highly drought-tolerant once established. It performs well in sandy or rocky soils and can withstand harsh conditions, making it a resilient choice for xeriscapes or low-water gardens.
Maintenance: This low-maintenance shrub requires little care beyond occasional pruning to maintain its shape. Prune lightly after flowering to encourage compact growth and prevent legginess. White Broom is naturally resistant to pests and diseases, making it an easy-care option for gardeners.
Landscape Uses: White Broom is perfect for adding seasonal interest to borders, slopes, and rock gardens. Its cascading branches and delicate blooms create a soft, natural look that complements cottage gardens and wildflower meadows. Whether used as a standalone accent or as part of a mixed planting, this shrub brings beauty and texture to any setting.
