This is a very unusual and valuable plant for any dry garden. Blooming from spring until Autumn, the flower colour will vary seasonally. In Spring and Autumn, the flowers are strongly bicoloured red and white. When it's hot, the flowers go solid red, or pure white on the same plant at the same time. The flowers are extremely attractive to bees and other pollinators.

The foliage has a wonderful scent of blackcurrants. It makes a small shrub with age and can even be used for hedging. It thrives in poor soils with plenty of heat and sun. A deep watering once per month in the height of summer will be beneficial, but not essential.
