Sister Golden Hair Scotch Broom

Sister Golden Hair® is a compact Scotch broom with graceful, trailing branches and unusually large, bright yellow spring flowers. It reaches about 12 to 18 inches tall and wide, creating a low rounded mound that suits small sunny spaces. The [Proven Winners plant profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/cytisus/sister-golden-hair-scotch-broom-cytisus-scoparius) identifies the selection as ‘SMSCGF’ and gives its mature size, color, and growing needs. ## Garden Use Set it near the front of a border, in a container, or along an edge where its cascading stems can be seen. Full sun and sharply drained soil support the best growth; it tolerates dry conditions and poor soil, and its yellow flowers complement spring bulbs. ## Maintenance Water during establishment, then allow the soil to dry between waterings. If its outline becomes untidy, trim lightly just after flowering because the flowers form on older wood. Avoid wet winter soil and check local rules and planting guidance for Scotch broom before planting.
