It has small white or pale purple flowers which are full of nectar and a magnet for many types of bee.
 
POLLINATORS:  Long-tongued bees in particular due to its long tube-like flowers, but others bees may cleverly nibble through the flower to access the nectar.
 
WILDLIFE:  It also attracts other beneficial insects and its strong, citrusy odour deters several unwelcome pests, including gnats and mosquitoes.
