Sister Redhead® Scotch Broom

Sister Redhead® is an upright Scotch broom with vivid red, pea-shaped flowers accented by small yellow tips in mid-spring. Its mature size is about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, with fine green stems and small leaves that keep the plant visually light after flowering. The [Proven Winners profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/cytisus/sister-redhead-scotch-broom-cytisus-scoparius) identifies ‘SMNCSAB’ and gives the mature size, color, and growing conditions. ## Garden Use Plant it in full sun in a well-drained border, mass planting, or spring bulb display. It tolerates dry conditions once established and is listed as drought tolerant and deer resistant by the grower. Check local rules and regional guidance before planting Scotch broom. ## Maintenance Water while establishing, then use sparing irrigation in dry sites. If the plant needs shaping, trim lightly just after flowering; avoid hard pruning because flowers form on older wood.
