Sister Redhead Scotch Broom has bright red pea-like flowers that are kissed with a tiny bit of gold making those flowers stand out even more! This beauty is a standout in any garden in the spring. Her upright growth showcases the beautiful blooms and planted with other spring blooms such as golden daffodils just increases her attractiveness.

This redhead loves hot and sunny spots in the garden. It is insect and disease and deer resistant as well. It is drought and salt tolerant, making it ideal for those coastal areas too. This Scotch Broom is an upright growing shrub just 3-4 ft. tall and 2-3 ft. wide. You can use it in containers as a thriller or in the garden as a focal point or in a mass planting. It’s called a Scotch Broom because the growth habit is upright like a broom.

Sister Redhead® Scotch Broom Care

‘Sister Redhead’ prefers a well-draining, low fertility soil and sunny spots for best growth. It thrives from Zone 5a- 8b. No pruning is necessary unless there is a broken branch or it becomes too open. In that case just a light trim after it is done blooming in mid spring.

You can use branches of ‘Sister Redhead’ in flower arrangement either in bloom or just foliage. After it blooms the plant leaves small pea-like seed pods that are attractive.

Sister Redhead® Scotch Broom Spacing

Plant Sister Redhead Scotch Broom 3 to 4 feet apart, center on center. If you are growing into a garden border or small hedge, plant closer to 3 feet apart. Use the same spacing away from other plants and structures as well. Proper spacing will ensure the plant gets enough air circulation and sunlight. It also gives the roots enough space to grow, even when the plant reaches mature size.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
