  Cytisus battandieri aka the Pineapple Broom.  One of my absolute favourites

  I had one on a pergola years ago - when in flower there's a strong scent of pineapple and the silvery leaves look great when not in flower

  I loved mine as well but it died the year of the really hard winter we had in Scotland a few years back.....They are a bit tender.
