Sweet Pea Shrub 180MM

Polygala x dalmaisiana

I am Sweet Pea Shrub. My family originated from South Africa.

Habit Shrub - Non-invasive form

Plant family Polygalaceae

I am a super tough and delightful compact shrub bearing attractive purple and white pea shaped flowers from late winter through to spring. My form has been grown for many years by my breeder and not shown signs of being invasive, unlike some other Polygala species. I naturally form a rounded shape without pruning making me ideal for informal and colourful hedges. I am tolerant of frost, dry conditions and poor soils. Give me a prune after I have finished flowering to keep me looking at my best
