Looking for a coronilla with real character? Coronilla ‘Citrina’ is a great choice. Citrina is a coronilla with soft lemon-yellow, lightly scented flowers against blue-green leaves, flowering mostly in winter and spring.
Coronilla is a small evergreen shrub with blue-green leaves and lemon-yellow, pea-like flowers that are lightly scented. It often flowers in winter and spring, bringing cheerful colour when it is most welcome.
Coronilla ‘Citrina’ grows best in full sun in a sheltered spot, in free-draining soil. It is a good choice for sunny patios and walls, and also works well for long-flowering borders, pollinator planting and sunny walls. It suits a sunny border with Mediterranean shrubs.
Before planting, soak the root ball in a bucket of water. Prepare a hole about twice the width of the pot, fork over the bottom and add organic matter. Plant at the original soil level, firm the soil around the roots and give it a generous drink.
Water in the first year; drought-tolerant afterwards. Trim after flowering; sheltered, sunny spots suit it best. Trim after flowering. It dislikes wet soil and cold winds.
Grows well in pots. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.
