Taxonomy

Class: Magnoliopsida

Order: Sapindales

Family: ?aceae

This tall member of the pea family blooms at its best from April to June, although there are some species that continue flowering until August.

Broom usually does best where there is plenty of lime in the soil. It does, however, occur throughout Wales except in the most acid upland areas.
