A whole painter's palette of colors in every bloom.
Sister Rosie® Scotch broom brings more to your garden: more color, more flowers, more texture! In spring, the plant springs back to life with hundreds of pea-shaped flowers in dusky pink with red and yellow lips. Nothing else looks quite like it, and it is especially when paired with colorful spring blooming bulbs like daffodils, tulips, and crocus. Scotch broom loves sunny, dry conditions, which these bulbs also like, so pairing them together works visually as well as horticulturally! After blooming, wiry green stems are covered in tiny leaves, which provide a unique textural effect. We do not recommend this plant for the Northwest.
Top reasons to grow Sister Rosie® Scotch broom:
- Multiple true, rich colors in every bloom.

Beautiful plant, not invasive at all, very drought tolerant. I have had it growing in my yard for 10 years, it has never spread as these domesticated scotch broom ate sterile!
