Coronilla valentina subsp. glauca Citrina

This subspecies of Coronilla valentina has pale yellow, scented flowers from January through April. It is a small (about 100x100cm), evergreen Mediterranean shrub, at home in brushy, dry habitats such as the garrigue. It needs well-drained soil and can take half-shade. It is hardy to -15℃ but likes warm and sheltered conditions. I’ve planted it in October 2024 under the large olive tree and so far it’s done well, although it did look a bit thin over the summer. Coronilla valentina is somewhat drought-resistant with a Filippi code de secheresse of 3.5.
