Read detailed description :

Very useful variety near a path to give colours and scents in winter, well exposed against a wall for example, to protect the flowering and enhance it. Strange brown fuits in which the seeds can be heard at te end of summer. Flowering occurs as soon as it gets warmer. Melliferous plant. It appreciates sheltered, warm, fairly sunny locations, such as at the foot of a south-facing wall. Any soil, preferably cool siliceous soil.
