Cultivation Notes: Prefers a sandy loam and a very sunny position[1]. Succeeds in dry soils. Succeeds in any good garden soil that is not excessively limey[11]. Most species become chlorotic on limey soils[200]. This species is probably very tender in Britain, but it has been grown outdoors in the mildest parts of Cornwall[11]. Closely related to A. pravissima[11]. This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria, these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby[200].
