In what way poor? What pH? Though if you are talking of the kind of place where
Buddleia does well then I guess we're talking neutral or alkaline, hot, dry,
sharply drained, little organic content, light soil. In which case Jane's idea
of Cistus is a good one, add various labiate herbs like Thymes, Sages,
Rosemary, Oregano + Lavenders, Catmint, Brooms, Jerusalem Sage, Wormwoods, Mt
Etna Broom - but it's a big one, some Euphorbias.............
