An easily grown plant, it requires a poor soil and a sunny position to be at its best. It does well on dry sunny banks or in poor gravelly soils. It is intolerant of shade, nor does it do well on rich soils. Prefers a neutral to slightly acid soil, disliking alkaline soils. Plants are very intolerant of root disturbance. Very tolerant of maritime exposure and, once established, drought. It is one of the most refreshing of all flower scents. A food plant for the caterpillars of several lepidoptera species. Plants often form dense thickets and these are ideal nesting areas for many species of birds. This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria, these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby.

Speedy delivery,followed instructions on packet for sowing, too early obviously to say if seeds grow.Only disappointment was that only 59 seeds were in the packet which was slightly over half the approx expected amount.

I have always liked this particular plant for hedges
I have always liked this particular plant for hedges. But the reason I give this 5 stars in the company and its customer service. I bought some of these seeds and not many grew. So I gave a bad review and the comp-any gave me some excellent planting advice, and a free packet of seeds.
