Broom is a genus known for its hardy, shrubby nature and showy, fragrant blooms. Basic care demands full sun exposure, well-draining soil, and moderate water with good drought tolerance once established. As a temperate-loving genus, broom thrives in mild climates but may struggle in extremely cold or hot temperatures. Common challenges include root rot from overwatering and vulnerability to pests like aphids and spider mites. Seasonally, broom requires little to no additional care in summer, but may need frost protection in winter and reduced watering in autumn. Pruning in late winter or early spring encourages healthy growth and flowering.
