Family Fabaceae

Genista tinctoria ‘Royal Gold’ is a compact and bright shrub, appreciated for its abundant golden yellow flowers and naturally dense habit. This broom variety forms a rounded and well-structured silhouette, ideal for borders, rockeries, dry slopes, and naturalistic landscaping. Its deciduous, bright green foliage perfectly showcases the vibrant flowers that cover the plant in early summer, offering a strong visual impact while attracting pollinating insects. Undemanding, this broom tolerates poor and dry soils well once established, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens. Well-adapted to Quebec's climatic conditions, ‘Royal Gold’ prefers a very sunny exposure and well-drained soil, contributing to soil stability and local biodiversity.
