Yes. your link is from Finland=Suomi.

It is guite common here. Bees and bumbble bees love it. It has wide nertar bottom and lots of pollen. It grows in soils, which are wet sometimes and sometimes dry.

It would be good idea to spread them more to nature.


In same habitats lives Rhamnus frangula, Alder Buckthorn. It is a splended nectar plant. It blooms here 3 months. If you fertilize it with ash, it really bursts into bloom
