Very floriferous in May-June. resistant to sea spray, tolerates dry and hot weather, but appreciates cool oceanic atmospheres. Well drained, light, sandy but fertile, neutral to slightly acid soils. The botanical species with white flowers has become very rare, replaced by magnificent, colourful, floriferous and decorative hybrids. Digestive, antiscorbutic teas were made, useful and appreciated by crew during Captain Cook's southsea journeys.
