Cytisus Lena

Please note: This product cannot be delivered to Northern Ireland.

The ‘Lena’ is an evergreen perennial. It is tolerant of many soil types and can grow in poor soil areas, however it prefers full sun. The leaves are relatively small and palmate. In older plants the narrow and short green leaves may be noticeably reduced in number.

The blooms on this plant are of a pea-shaped variety and the colours are spectacular. In addition, they have a delightful fragrance. Depending on the amount of sun and weather, the flowers open in the months of May and June. They are a favorite of some of the pollinators, especially bees.

Like other similar Cytisus plants, it should be cut back after flowering, with anywhere from 20% to 50% of the new growth removed in order to encourage vigorous blooming the following season.

Once established, they can survive in drought-prone and coastal areas and most soil types. For this reason, they are good to plant as landscaping accents in open cottage settings and other areas where landscaping accents are desired.
