I have struggled with this plant for years but have now moved it out of our hot westerly summer sun & grow it in morning sun & afternoon semi-shade. I thought because it grows on beaches it would like sandy soil & the beating Ozie sun, But no.

Endemic to the Scottish coastline. A fantastic clumping plant for insects with shiny foliage & umbels of white flowers held on striking, purple-red stems. Soundly perennial. Height 60 cm. Moist, well-drained soil in sun or part shade.
