I live in Sedona AZ, at about 4200 feet (USDA Zone 7a). This plant does very well here even in full AZ sun (3:00 P.M. in mid summer - it's bright and it's harsh). I planted two Spartium junceum 2 years ago in 24" pots. They seem happy in pots, but I'm going to put them in the ground over the winter/fall. They have a wonderfully sweet aroma - so much so that I'm planting 5-6 more around the house. I haven't tried growing them from seed yet, but I will in the spring. If it works (assuming I know what I'm doing) I'll post info/results.

I planted spanish broom two plants side by side. One has beutiful yellow flowers an the other one is just green stems. They were planted at the same time. Not sure what is going on. But i like the plant even though it is a weed.

Emits a strong nasty smell when it blooms that causes me to have to wear a mask in my garden, annoying because I have lovely smelling roses. No wonder it is poisonous!

This plant has grown so tall and fast that it has gotten top heavy and has started to lean with our winds in northern Oklahoma. Other than that, it has grown well and seems happy here. It is an unusual looking plant because of its lack of leaves, and its yellow flowers have a wonderful smell resembling honeysuckle.

I bought one of these at the local Walmart nursery (ups sorry!) It has done extremely well here in the high desert of california. The yellow blooms in spring are spectacular in that the whole shrub blooms. The fregrance is unmentionable but pleasant. I have seen them here locally get very big. I higly recommend having this and I am happy I have one growing so well. Happy Planting!!!
