Groom has also found its way into local gardens. You will not only find different varieties of gorse (bot. Genista) but also other species that are hardly or not at all related to gorse.
When is the flowering time of gorse?
The flowering period of gorse varies depending on the species: prickly gorse (April-May), gorse (April-June), broom (May-June), and ball gorse (May-August). These plants bloom in different colors such as yellow, white, pink, red, orange or bicolor.
Some species can hardly be distinguished from one another visually, which certainly makes precise identification difficult. If you value the longest possible flowering period, then it makes sense to combine the different types with each other. They can all grow in the same location and their care needs are also quite similar.
So that your gorse actually blooms as long and beautifully as you want, it should definitely be in the right place. In the shade it only grows and blooms sparsely. Therefore, always plant gorse in a sunny place. He feels really comfortable there. He will also enjoy the blazing midday sun.
The flowering period of different types of gorse:
- Prickly thorn broom (Calicotome spinosa): April to May
- Gorse (Ulex europaeus): April to June
- Broom (Cytosis scoparius): May to June
- Globe gorse (Genista radiata): May to August
What colors does the gorse bloom in?
It is often believed that gorse blooms yellow. These assumptions are not wrong, because this color is actually common. But gorse can also bloom in white, pink, red or orange and even in two colors.
