Genista alpina is a hardy shrub native to mountainous regions of Europe and western Asia. It is known for its delicate, yellow flowers that bloom in early spring. This plant thrives in rocky and well-drained soils, making it a popular choice for rock gardens. Its compact growth habit and resilience to cold temperatures make it a valuable addition to alpine landscapes. Despite its small size, Genista alpina plays an important ecological role in supporting pollinators and stabilizing soil in harsh environments.
