What is Gorse flower?

GORSE FLOWER is a small yellow flower made on Gorse shrubs. Two species, ordinary Gorse and Western Gorse, come from Western Europe. The common Gorse usually grows from 7 to 10 feet (2 to 3 meters) tall, while Western Gorse, sometimes referred to as dwarf furze, is much shorter.

This proverb stems from the reality of the trobk, while most flowers bloom in the spring, this shrub often has flowers on it all year round. Bright yellow flowers are often not more than an inch (2.5 centimeters) long, but they are said to have a very strong, sweet odor similar to coconut.

Western Gorse flower differs a bit from the ordinary Gors. This flower is usually a darker shade of yellow. Also, instead of flowering in the spring, it blooms during the late summer and early autumn.

from the northern parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland, to the south as Portugal, and on the highway in Poland, both Gors can be found wildly in dry sandy soil. Years ago, this plant was introduced into parts of America, Australia and New Zealand as decorative plants and were often used as locking plants. However, due to the aggressive distraction of the Gorse plant seeds, they soon became an invasive weed at a foreign country and consider themselves very difficult to get rid of.
