Genista 'Yellow Imp' is a colourful ground cover that can stretch out to around 1 metre and grows 15 to 20 cm. Bright green foliage becomes rich golden yellow pea-like blossoms over the spring and summer, providing a magnificent spectacle. Excellent for embankments, retaining walls, and rockeries. Will survive extremely hot and dry conditions as well as poor soils, preferring a sunny or partially shaded setting. Annually fertilise with a long-term slow-release fertiliser and prune as needed. Once established, requires truly little water. The Dwarf Genista is an ideal plant for a beginner or easy-going plant to add to your collection.
