Although not a particularly attractive plant (it has tiny white flowers), Sweet Houndstongue has an exquisite scent, although some people find it too strong. The flowering season can be quite long, throughout spring and into summer. It may also regrow rapidly following a fire in summer to flower again in autumn. This species will persist well amid a Native Grassland planting provided burning or brushcutting or mowing with removal of cut material takes place every couple of years to maintain open gaps.
