Genista tinctoria, commonly known as dyer's broom, is a flowering plant in the legume family. It is native to Europe and parts of Asia, thriving in dry, sandy soils. The plant can grow up to 1 meter tall and produces bright yellow flowers, which bloom in late spring and summer. Historically, Genista tinctoria has been used for dyeing textiles, particularly to produce a yellow color. The flowers and stems contain compounds that release pigments when processed, making it a valuable resource for natural dyeing. Today, it is also appreciated for its ornamental value in gardens.
