CORONILLA VALENTINA SUBSP. GLAUCA ‘CITRINA’

Flowering plants are few and far between at this time of year. Coronillas have soft-yellow flowers that are sweetly citrus scented and appear on stems that scramble and ramble over the ground in a charmingly haphazard way. Coronillas will grow happily in a container with extra grit in the compost to allow plenty of air through the roots in those winter months, but avoid exposed sites, which can become waterlogged in winter. AGM.

Height 50cm-1m.

Origin Garden origin (subspecies from Mediterranean France to Albania). Conditions Well-drained soil with moisture during the summer; sheltered position in sun.

Hardiness RHS H4, USDA 9a-10b. Season of interest Late autumn and winter.
