Scotchbroom

Because Scotchbroom is barely hardy to our area, we are not able to offer our 50% replacement guarantee on these shrubs.

Scotchbroom is a delicate plant that can be damaged by wind and cold.  These shrubs should be planted in a wind-sheltered area, if possible, and can be lightly wrapped in burlap with the top exposed to the sun to help it get through the harsh winter.
