Pineapple Broom


Pineapple Broom

I don’t know why this isn’t grown more. I never see it! The only ones I have ever seen have been in my gardens! After it had finished flowering, I cut the stems back by about a half to get a bushier plant. Now it has started flowering again! What a star! Perhaps it’s the yellow that doesn’t appeal.

Karen, I grew one at the back of the garden but removed it when it constantly had grey/green/black aphids covering it!
Such a shame as I try to have yellow around the garden for Michael, a colour he sees easily with his colour blindness.

Oh crikey! I’ll keep an eye out for the aphids. They were dreadful here this spring but followed by Aton of ladybirds. Never seen the larvae before but we had loads!

We had greenfly earlier in the year, but Ladybirds have eaten most of them.......

Lindak, I have seen just two Ladybirds in my garden this year, send some down please!
