Dwarf furze
Ulex minor
Dwarf furze is a compact, spiny evergreen shrub native to Atlantic heathlands, prized for its vivid yellow pea-flowers that appear in late summer and autumn. It thrives in poor, acidic, well-drained soils with full sun and requires very little supplemental watering once established. Avoid rich soils and overwatering, which can weaken the plant.
