Buy Cytisus praecox ‘Allgold’ online from our UK nursery. Cytisus x praecox ‘Allgold’ is a popular early broom smothered in rich golden-yellow, lightly scented flowers in spring.
Cytisus, or broom, smothers its slender, whippy green stems with pea-like flowers in late spring. It grows quickly, thrives in poor, dry soil where many shrubs struggle, and its green stems keep the plant looking fresh even in winter.
Cytisus praecox ‘Allgold’ grows best in full sun, in free-draining, lean to poor soil. It is a good choice for sunny borders and banks, and also works well for poor or dry soil, coastal gardens and sunny banks. It looks good with lavender, cistus and grasses on a sunny bank.
Give the pot a good soak first. Then dig a wide planting hole, enrich the soil with compost, and plant so the top of the root ball sits level with the ground. Firm in gently and water well, then add a mulch to hold in moisture.
Water in the first summer; no feeding needed. Prune lightly right after flowering and never into old wood. Prune lightly straight after flowering, shortening flowered shoots. Never cut into old wood. It can become leggy if not trimmed after flowering, and it dislikes being moved.
Can grow in large containers of gritty compost. 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.
Our plants are nursery-grown at St Annes in North West England, raised outdoors and in tunnels in real UK weather rather than a hothouse, so they arrive healthy, acclimatised and well rooted. This Cytisus praecox ‘Allgold’ is supplied in a 3L pot. Container-grown plants can be planted almost all year round, as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged; autumn and spring are ideal.
