A note from PlantMom

Winged broom is resistant to diseases and generally not susceptible to them. In terms of care, this plant is fairly low-maintenance. When grown outdoors it needs only light watering, and larger specimens typically do not require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be pruned after they finish blooming. Winged broom is appropriate for anyone with an outdoor area, such as a garden or deck, and does not demand extensive care experience.

CARE GUIDE

How to keep Genista Delphinensis.

Light

Winged broom performs best when exposed to sunlight all day, though it can tolerate some partial shade. Because it originates from areas with abundant sun exposure, it grows vigorously. Irregular light, however, can impede its development or cause damage.

Temperature

Winged broom naturally occurs in areas where temperatures range from 32 to 90 °F (0 to 32 ℃). It grows best in that climate, generally favoring milder conditions. In extreme weather, temperature adjustments may be necessary to maintain healthy growth.

Fertilizer

The timing of fertilizing Winged broom is important. Apply fertilizer in early spring and continue once a month until early summer. Fertilizer encourages attractive blooms and supplies energy both in dormant periods and during active growth.
