Care & Maintenance

Preparing the Plant Location: Choose a sunny spot in well-drained soil. Clear the area of weeds and debris.

Hydrating: Before planting, soak the bare roots in water for several hours to rehydrate them.

Planting: Plant the Cytisus scoparius as soon as possible after receiving it. Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball and ensure it is deep enough to accommodate the full depth of the roots. Place the roots in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.
