Genista sagittalis, also known as arrowleaf broom, is a perennial shrub native to Europe and Asia. With its slender, arching stems and small yellow flowers resembling arrows, it adds a distinctive charm to dry meadows, rocky slopes, and woodland edges. Arrowleaf broom blooms from late spring to early summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Resilient and drought-tolerant, it thrives in sunny, well-drained habitats. Despite its invasive tendencies in some regions, it is cherished for its ornamental value and ability to thrive in challenging environments.
