Crocanthemum scoparium is an attractive perennial shrub, known affectionately as Broom-Like Frostweed or Peak Rushrose. A native of the southern United States, this compact plant, typically measuring between 1 and 2 feet tall, confidently poses with its slender, arching branches adorned with bright, needle-like leaves. An appealing broom-like silhouette is showcased year-round, while vibrant yellow flowers sprout in clusters from late spring through early fall. These lively blooms not only lend color, but also charm an array of butterflies and bees, ensuring your garden truly buzzes with life.
