Swags of fabulous bright yellow flowers drape along the drooping branches of the Laburnum every spring, bringing a vibrant splash of colour to the garden and out-shining every other plant nearby. The sweetly scented flowers are followed by silvery pods. Grown over an arch, the flowers of Laburnum anagyroides seem to pour down through the structure, earning it the common name of Golden Rain. With its pretty, cut foliage and spreading form, this deciduous tree looks great in all seasons. It is a fast-growing, robust tree. Some parts are poisonous. Height: 8m (26'); Spread: 8m (26').
An incredible deciduous tree featuring pink and yellow blooms on the same plant! This cross between Laburnum and Cytisus purpureus (Purple Broom) results in an abundance of elegant, pendulous pea-like blooms in shades of yellow, mauve-pink and sometimes salmon pink. These attractive flowers appear from late spring through to early summer.
