    5 Jumbo plug plants.

     

    A very good source of pollen and nectar for honeybees, solitary bees, short-tongued bumblebees, and to a lesser extent, long tongued bees. There are several species of small beetle that feed on the foliage.

    It is a caterpillar food plant of the Brown Argus, Green Hairstreak and Silver Studded Blue butterflies.

     

    Advised to plant in informal groups to encourage recognition and attract bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
