Instructions
Top Tip
Prune your Cytisus lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushy growth. Remove any spent blooms and cut back weak or leggy stems to promote a compact form. Avoid cutting into old wood, as this may hinder regrowth. With the right care, Cytisus will reward you with vibrant flowers and a low-maintenance, visually striking addition to your outdoor space.
How to Water
Water Cytisus deeply after planting to help the roots establish, but avoid overwatering, as these plants thrive in drier conditions. During prolonged dry periods in their first year, water sparingly, ensuring the soil is only slightly moist. Once established, Cytisus requires minimal watering and tolerates drought conditions well. Always allow the soil to dry out between waterings to avoid root rot.
How to Plant
To plant a Cytisus, select a sunny spot with well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and slightly shallower than its depth to prevent waterlogging. Position the plant carefully, ensuring the root collar is level with the soil surface, and backfill the hole with loose soil. Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots. Avoid adding fertiliser at planting, as Cytisus prefers poorer soils, and mulch lightly to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
