Re: Galega ???
Galega officinalis (the most commonly found species), a/k/a Goat's Rue. A large, rangy herbaceous legume like Astragalus and Licorice. Says here in "The Encyclopedia of Perennials" (Facts On File) that "Goat's Rue is intolerant of hot and humid climates." I have mine behind the garage where it's protected from the hot afternoon sun (southeast Michigan in August pretty much defines "hot and
humid"). It only gets 3-4' tall but it seems happy enough.
