Insights
The common variety of Broom is native to Britain where it grows, as it does in Europe, Asia and North America, in open heathland or in hedgerows, blooming from late spring. This variety flowers sooner, the praecox in its name simply meaning early.

Care
Still very much in touch with its roots, this Broom needs very little attention other than annual pruning after flowering. Cut out dead, diseased or damaged stems and trim back to allow air flow, for shaping and to encourage flowers next year. Do not cut into old wood.
Please note, parts of this plant are toxic by ingestion. Irritant to skin and eyes, wear gloves.
