Plant of the Day
Sunday 23 August 2020
Covered in flowers and thriving in the hot weather was the shrub Spartium junceum (Spanish broom, weaver's broom). This plant thrives on poor, well-drained soils in exposed, sunny sites. It can be an invasive species in places with a Mediterranean climate such as California and Oregon, Hawaii, central Chile, and southeastern Australia.
