i was so happy yesterday when i found these pretty little shrubs that bloom yellow then stay green all year and smell lovely! i was buying them for my outside dining patio at my restaurant. i happily bought five at $40 each with plans to come back to buy more for my home.
then last night i did a little web search and discovered they are highly toxic, deadly to animals, a fire hazard and highly invasive. this is SCOTCH BROOM. thankfully i hadn't planted any yet. the garden center accepted the return so i got my money back. when i asked the guy to confirm what i found he kinda shrugged and said "they're not native, they're all imported." that didn't make me feel better. BUYER BEWARE!!!
