Coronilla valentina subsp. glauca 'Citrina'

I’m so excited about seeing this flower through Winter, it’s covered in buds. So pleased you put me on to this Karen.

I'm determined to have one of these Dawn, after seeing Karen's photos a few years ago..

Me too, when I’ve found out where it likes to be!

Thanks Dawn, and apparently it likes sun (don’t we all?!). Right Janey - another good excuse to visit a garden centre then .........

They have a lovely smell and the fact they should flower all winter is marvellous

Ours is in the border...has been in flower for a month now..has grown very big and a tad scraggly..Karen doesn't have one any more...

I'm going to try and get cuttings from mine next year, I wonder if they're like lavender, get woody and leggy. Lovely though aren't they for winter.

Dawn that's what we do....our current one is a baby from the original plant, and is very scruffy, I have pruned it three times this year, it is being supported by two large metal plant supports, to stop it sprawling all over the other plants, it would not be a problem for you, as you have the space to let it sprawl!! but it becomes bare and woody, but we wouldn't like to be without it, perfume is beautiful isn't it!....(◍•ᴗ•◍)✧*。

Thanks Dotty, yes the perfume is something else. Are cuttings easy? When do you do them, thanks

This is a lovely plant with beautiful flowers, Dawn. It looks like a winner to me! It’ll be a real stunner through the colder months.

I think the reason mine is not flowering is because I too cuttings earlier in the year (all rooted) so probably took off shoots with the potential to flower.

23 Nov, 2019

 

When did you take the cuttings Siris? I need to do some next year, thanks

23 Nov, 2019

 

Bought mine in Feb, put into a bigger pot, took cuttings early summer, (not hardwood), planted original in ground Autumn, when I'd decided where to put and made space.

Thank you Siris

Just starting to produce flower buds, but I had to look carefully to see them.

Brilliant, any idea when is the best time to feed, not sure as it’s a winter flowerer.
