How to care for Genista Porlock:
No regular pruning is required. Take out dead and diseased branches after flowering. Replace straggly specimens with new plants.
Please note:
This shrub is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new foliage appears again in spring.
