It is known for its profusion of large, fragrant pea flowers and named for its numerous, bright green, upright-arching branches and stems that resemble sweeping brooms. Sprays of flowers in shades of yellow, creamy white, red and burgundy appear from mid- to late spring, attracting bees. Hairy-edged olive-green seed pods ripen in fall, then turn black in winter. Scotch broom is very drought tolerant and needs a well-drained sandy soil, although heavier soils curtail invasiveness by curbing self-seeding. Plant as a specimen in mixed borders, or use as a hedge on top of steep slopes and rough banks, or in a large container. Flowers sprays also make nice cut-flower arrangements.
