    Bi-coloured broom now just yellow! Why?

    I took a cutting a couple of years ago from a lovely bi-coloured (purple and yellow) broom plant. The cutting rooted and this year is flowering for the first time. Except the flowers are plain yellow!! I wondered if anyone out there knew why, as the theory would have it that cuttings are clones of the parent plant and therefore should flower exactly the same?

    I suspect the multi coloured one is a graft onto another rootstock. Our broom died and seeded.. two plants from seed..one is multicoloured.. one is yellow...

      Strange! The cutting was taken a natural looking woodland next to a river where we were wild camping. Maybe it wasn't as wild and natural as we had thought!

        I use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
