I think it varies a bit, maybe depending on altitude? but I've seen it around Christmas and the first couple of weeks of January.
Here's some Christmas scoparia:

I asked a coleague once "when does the scaporia come out at the Walls?" she replied "usually when you are not there!!
I was surprised to find so much on Ben Lomond - superb Golden colour:

It was also on Black Bluff
