Galega Officinalis 'Alba', commonly known as Goat's Rue is an informal plant with spikes of pure white pea-like flowers which are produced in from June - August above finely divided bright green foliage. Looks best scrambling among low branches of shrubs which support the handsome foliage and allow the flower stems to space themselves and make a good display. If left unsupported, plants may, in rich soil, trail over the ground and can be supported with twiggy pea sticks to raise them up off. Flowers are a magnet for bees.
Prefers moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. In good growing conditions plants can become vigorous and may self-seed. In wild gardens self-sown seedlings produce a delightful natural effect. Will need staking in windy positions.
Height: 45 - 120 cm Spread: 50 - 90 cm
