This species reproduces from seed very easily as the many seedlings growing in our path testify. It isn't that much of a surprise that it has colonised a reasonable area of the dunes where it lives and thrives there despite the onshore wind and sea spray. It flowers very early too and all the bushes were just coming into flower properly when I took this photo.
