This plant was new to me when we arrived in Somerset nearly 3 years ago. I was delighted to find an established one in this garden when we moved here. I've since planted 3 more as they seem to flourish in our dry-ish conditions.

Good for dry soil in full sun. Cut it back hard like a buddleia when it starts to shoot in spring. I just wish the flower stems would grow upright instead of at all angles
