Stunning plant in spring. Filled with yellow and burgundy flowers for many weeks.. Wish I could upload a photo. Second spring in the ground in Georgia. Originally bought five and 4 out of 5 have survived and thrived. Deducting one star because this is not a plant that I know anything about and it’s very difficult to find any information about how to take care of it from year to year on the proven winners website or their various video outlets.

Can you dig it?
Sister Disco® Scotch broom is a far-out burst of color for your spring garden. Each pea-shaped bloom is screaming yellow dabbed with bright red. This spring bloomer is especially when paired with colorful spring blooming bulbs like daffodils, tulips, and crocus. Sister Disco Scotch broom loves sunny, dry conditions, which the bulbs also like, so pairing these plants together works visually as well as horticulturally! After blooming, wiry green stems are covered in tiny leaves, which provide a unique textural effect. We do not recommend this plant for the Northwest.
Top reasons to grow Sister Disco® Scotch broom:
