The highlights

  • Loves full sunshine
  • Grow in a border or train up a wall
  • Scented yellow flowers from December to April
  • RHS Award of Garden Merit winner

Description

  • 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

How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

This variety generally has very few problems with pests or disease.

Water regularly when establishing

Once established, this plant is relatively drought tolerant.

Full sun

Plant in a sheltered spot where your plant will receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Any moist, well-drained soil

This plant will grow in most soil types, provided that the soil is moist and also drains well. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and/or gets waterlogged often, then consider mixing in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost and possibly some perlite to improve drainage.

No feeding required

'Citrina' doesn't generally need any additional feeding.
