| Design Ideas | On the small side and very dense, this gold Broom can stand alone or in a mass to create a color display that 'pops' even from far away. Makes an excellent addition to any flowering shrub border. Fits into wild landscapes where it naturalizes and offers charming character to old-fashioned country gardens. |
