These brooms bloom so profusely as to show almost no stem 
when in flower. Blooming season in San Francisco Bay region 
is from March to May. When once established they require no 
summer watering. We recommend pruning back the growth 
which has flowered in May, not only to keep them in good form 
but to prevent heavy setting of seed which tends to weaken the 
plants.
