Coronilla glauca 'Citrina'
- This showstopping, winter flowering shrub yields masses of fragrant, yellow flowers that'll help liven up your garden during the dreariest parts of the year
- Sherbet yellow umbels contrast beautifully with evergreen, glauca (a latin word meaning bluish grey) foliage
- Naturally bushy in nature, this plant is ideal for beds and borders. However, it can just as easily be trained to grow as a wall shrub in a sunny, sheltered spot. Its neat habit means it can also work brilliantly when grown in a pot!
- This is a frost hardy plant that will be able to withstand most UK winters, tolerating temperatures down to -10°C
- With its nectar rich flowers, this coronilla variety will readily attract pollinators like bees as they emerge in the spring
- Commonly known as bastard senna
