This one is for Rich @richard.spicer.7906 Still hard to capture the colour but as you can see it's pretty floriferous even for a young plant. I'm wondering if I can take some cuttings, maybe you can find out the best way to propagate!!

Aw thanks Natasha 😊 it reminds me of one I had, but then lost it. I’m sure we’ve covered Cytisus on the course notes, will take a look over me morning coffee ☕️

Looking at my notes and books, it’s not the easiest, but your best bet is mid summer semi-ripe cuttings. Hardwoods may or may not work but will take longer obviously as you won’t be able to do them now till winter. Hope that helps 👍🏼😊

Will definitely give some semi ripe cuttings a go then! It's a nice bushy plant so should yield plenty of material! I'll keep you posted @richard.spicer.7906

Difficult to capture the true colour but I'm really pleased with this B&M bargain! #cytisus Not much info about it online so will have to wait and see!
