Lotus scoparius

Deerweed and California Broom.

1Gal Container (Up to 0)
Lotus scoparius Deerweed is a short- lived ( 7-20 years! ) perennial in the pea family. From spring through summer this plant is covered in small yellow flowers. Deerweed is a pioneer species in nature and helps to fertilize (adds nitrogen with the help of symbiotic bacteria) the soil naturally. That is, when a plant community is disturbed deerweed emerges and helps to reestablish the plant community. This can be very useful in restoration or in a garden situation. You can use it to help establish your plant community in your garden if you start with a new house on a bare lot. Deerweed is very drought tolerant. As the plant community matures deerweed gradually disappears.
Syn. Acmispon glaber.
