User's notes

This plant is almost heath-like with its pale cream bell flowers and it’s overall tough structure. This is known to me as ‘5 Corners’ and grows in very sun exposed poor sandy soil, (photo 3), and only in that acre or 2 on this property. Budding up in March (photo 1) it is usually in full flower in April _May. Very stiff leaves which end in a very prickly spike (photos 1, 4 & 5), they have cream coloured margins (photos 1 & 4)
