Ononis spinosa

Hi Group,

Here at the UC Botanical Garden we feature plants from Mediterranean
climate areas of the world.  A frequent challenge is to try to determine if
what we want to plant will be a potential invasive exotic in our own
Mediterranean climate.

I have looked in a few books but not found whether Ononis spinosa (prickly
restharrow) spreads by underground stems like some of its sister species.
Does anyone have experience growing it?  Is it a rampant grower like O. repens?

Thanks in advance,

Holly
