Genista cinerea
Genista cinerea
Ashy woadwaxen is a tough, sun-loving shrub native to the western Mediterranean that thrives in well-drained, poor soils. Water occasionally until established, then reduce watering as it becomes more drought-tolerant with age. Minimal pruning after flowering will keep it tidy and encourage a second flush of bright yellow blooms.
