Genus: Coronilla

Wow ! So many flowers !

Lovely little addition to any garden for constant colour, I have a paler one which you id'd for me

I just checked the Genus for Gorse (Ulex) and this plant - and they belong to the same family! Leguminosae in latin. So, yes, Amy, they are related!

However, as Gilli says, this one is a nice shrub - it doesn't have ANY prickles!

Well spotted, Amy. We live and learn, don't we.

That looks like a nice shrub Spritz.

The flower looks very much like a Gorse Spritz , is it related ?

Thats a pretty shrub Spritz.....

So cheerful, excellent plant.

Coronilla glauca flowers usually in spring - march-may time. It is hardy,evergreen, scented, very flowery and fairly quick growing. Sounds like an ideal plant! Probably takes a couple of years to flower from seed - but it's not often found. Mine came from Spain as a small plant a few years ago. It grows easily from cuttings

Very pretty!

Which summer months does this flower please ?
Is it widely available ?
Very pretty :o)

Thanks Spritz , another one for my ever growing list , It reminds me a bit of the gorse flowers on the heath !

Yes, Amy. it is. It's not completely hardy, though, so it needs a sheltered site. It flowers from now into the winter and in the spring - and also produces a few flowers in the summer!

thats a very pretty shrub Spritz , another new one to me , is it an evergreen ?

I have one of these that a friend gave me, it is just coming into flower.
