Sister Golden Hair® Cytisus
2 1/4" finishes to 1 gallon in 12-14 weeks, Quick Turn finishes to 2-3 gallon in 18-22 weeks.
Blooms in early spring on old wood; cease trimming in late June as growth seems to shut down for summer. Doing so also allows flower buds to form for sale the following spring.
Very low growing, so will not shade neighboring crops while being grown.
Best flowering will be on one-year old stems; do not allow the majority of the plant to become thick and woody.
When trimming, imagine a central “core” of the plant and prune around that (rather than simply pruning the plant shorter). This encourages the elegant cascading habit.
Potting a 2 ¼” liner directly to a 3 gallon is not recommended.
