Description
Galega officinalis is an ancient medicinal wildflower which has been used as a diuretic and symptomatic treatment for diabetes. It is now also valued as a stunning, informal favourite with both gardeners and with bees and butterflies. Plants produce strong stems which bear racemes of small, intricate pea-like flowers in June and July each year. Blooms are borne over clumps of attractive bushy, pinnate foliage which emerges in spring and remains until the first frosts. A superb inclusion in cottage gardens or for wild, natural planting styles, stems can also be cut for the vase. Plants are very tolerant of neglect and event thrive in poor soils where they will produce their own fertilizer. Native to Central and Southern Europe Galega officinalis prefers to be grown in damp soil in sun or partial shade. A fully-hardy, herbaceous perennial which matures to 1.2m tall with a spread of 90cm.
