Summary
Dendrolobium quinquepetalum, commonly known as Dwarf Yellow Broom, is a deciduous shrub native to the scrub and woodland margins of the Philippines. It typically grows to a height of 3-5 feet (0.9-1.5 meters) and a width of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters). This shrub has a compact, rounded form with small, bright green leaves. The yellow flowers, which bloom in spring and summer, are modest in size but can be quite showy when the plant is covered in blooms.
Dwarf Yellow Broom is valued for its drought tolerance and its ability to thrive in poor soils, making it a suitable choice for xeriscaping and rock gardens. It is also used in borders and as a low hedge in water-wise landscapes. Gardeners appreciate its low maintenance requirements and its ability to attract pollinators with its flowers. It prefers full sun exposure and can tolerate a range of soil types, provided they have good drainage. While generally disease-free, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered.CC BY-SA 4.0
