Its fragrant, tubular flowers bloom in clusters, often in shades of pink and white, adding a delicate beauty to its natural habitat. The plant thrives in well-drained soils and is often found in heathlands and coastal dunes. Due to its ornamental value and ecological significance, it is a subject of interest for botanists and gardeners alike.
