Co--Cy

Call this Cotton Easter and it will eat your garden; hell Coopers hawks could hunt the Easter Bunny from this one; a huge deciduous species from Bhutan that can reach 20’, and rather quickly (we must have the dwarf form), with blackish red fruits, ours has stayed less than 18” so far.

A unique looking evergreen hybrid between C. frigidus luteus and C. salicifolius with large elliptical leaves and large clusters of pink tinged yellow fruit. Dick was quick to grab a plant for himself so you know its nice.

An eastern European species growing 2-4’ tall bearing terminal clusters of showy yellow pea flowers.

Light red flowers with hints of yellow, Paulette is one of the best.

Jim Jeryms from Scotland was out recently and we had some interesting discussions about Kew, which have nothing to do with this broom; I’m just easily distracted. More to the point x kewensis is a cross between C. ardoinii and C. multiflorus, only 12-18” high and spreading to 6 feet or more 1-3 creamy yellow flowers in the axils.
