Hairy greenweed
Genista pilosa
Hairy greenweed is a low, spreading deciduous shrub that produces bright yellow pea-like flowers in spring and early summer, making it excellent for banks, slopes, and coastal gardens. It thrives in poor, sandy, or acidic soils with good drainage and tolerates exposed, windy conditions once established. Minimal pruning after flowering helps maintain a tidy shape without sacrificing next year's blooms.
