| Positive | sterhill | On Feb 18, 2006, sterhill from Atlanta, GA (Zone 7b) wrote: Atlanta GA area: I have three if them, now about 4' tall and NEVER have any seedlings pop up. They are beautiful in bloom and add a nice architectural quality to the garden the rest of the year. Planted in full sun - this is boiling Atlanta sun - and only watered when I think about it. A nice plant for this area and not invasive at all. | | Neutral | caroliz | On May 9, 2005, caroliz from Smithtown, NY (Zone 7a) wrote: I just purchased the cytisus scoparius in Long Island, NY. I have another scotch broom I am not sure exaclty which type, probably the same. Other people I know have grown them quite large, but they don't seem to be a problem for the natural vegetation. The first one I have doesn't even seem to be doing that well in a partially shady location. | | Neutral | vickiross | On Apr 14, 2004, vickiross wrote: "Cytisus praecox is not to be confused with cytisus scoparius which is a problem in the Pacific Northwest because of it's rampant growth."
I too, along with most of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Northern California feel it is insane if not criminal to sell Scotch Broom in a nursery.
I have seen colored versions along our roadways and do find it pretty but wondered why anyone would cultivate the stuff as it is also highly allergenic. | | Negative | wnstarr | On Mar 6, 2004, wnstarr from Puyallup, WA (Zone 5a) wrote: Edgewood, Washington
I don't care what color it comes in or what you think is a fragrance. Never, never plant any Scotch Broom. The state of Washington list it as a noxious weed. Is a fire danger even here in wet Washington state. Shame on any nursery that would sell it to some unknowing customer. | | Positive | Todd_Boland | On Mar 6, 2004, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote: A lovely flowering shrub that is literally covered in fragrant flowers in during June (at least June in my area). | | Positive | starshine | On Aug 2, 2003, starshine from Bend, OR (Zone 6a) wrote: This bush has the most wonderful scent to it. It's a soft sweet scent that permeates the air when it is in bloom. The soft colour of cream and light yellow flowers is indicitive of the scent it provides. Overall, a wonderful plant and a welcome addition to our garden. |
