Genista Maderensis (Pot Size 5L)

Quick Guide 

  • Showy yellow flowers
  • Ideal for coastal gardens
  • Drought tolerant once established
  • Fast-growing shrub
  • Flowers in late spring

Genista maderensis, commonly known as the Madeira Broom, is a spectacular shrub native to the Madeira Islands. This robust plant is celebrated for its vibrant, dense clusters of yellow flowers that bloom profusely in late spring, creating a stunning visual display. The bright flowers contrast beautifully against its dark green, almost needle-like foliage, making it a focal point in any garden setting. Genista maderensis is particularly well-suited to coastal gardens due to its high tolerance to sea spray and wind. It’s a fast-growing shrub that quickly reaches its full size, providing rapid coverage and adding instant impact to bare spaces. Beyond its beauty, this shrub is also prized for its ability to thrive in poor soils and withstand periods of drought once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for challenging garden environments.

Plant Care Guide  

Genista maderensis thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, where it can receive ample sunlight to promote the best flowering. It is generally low-maintenance but benefits from occasional watering during extremely dry periods, especially when young. No regular pruning is necessary, but if shaping is required, it should be done immediately after flowering to avoid removing the next season's buds. It is frost tender, so in cooler climates, it may need protection from harsh winter conditions or be grown in a container that can be moved to a sheltered location.

We aim to deliver orders within 2–4 working days. During peak seasons, such as Christmas, delivery times may vary slightly due to increased demand. We will keep you informed at every stage.

Third-Party Couriers

For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.

Click & Collect

We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.

All Click & Collect orders must be collected within 7 days of being ready, unless a later date has been arranged with us in advance. If an order is not collected within this time, it will be cancelled and a refund issued.

Returns Policy

If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.

Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.

Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.
