Plant description
One of the best plants for cold, exposed or coastal gardens, this pretty broom will take it all in its stride and still put on a great show.
Cytisus 'Moyclare Pink' has slender stems, which become more arching as they grow. These are clothed with small green leaves, but it is for the masses of pink, pea-like flowers that appear in spring that this plant is most highly prized.

How to care for Cytisus Moyclare Pink:
Plant Cytisus in well-drained soil in a sunny spot, ideally sheltered from strong winds. Pinch out the shoots of young plants to encourage a bushy habit. After flowering, prune annually by cutting back the spent stems to young side-shoots or low buds, avoiding old wood, to promote a strong display the following year.
Remove any dead or damaged stems at the same time, and water well in dry spells until established, though established plants become more drought-tolerant. A light mulch in spring can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Please note:
This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
