Description
Polygala dalmaisiana is a tough evergreen shrub valued for its neat rounded form, grey green foliage and long flowering display. The distinctive purple flowers resemble sweet peas and appear across much of the year in mild climates, bringing colour and movement to the garden. Its dense habit and low maintenance nature make it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial landscapes.
Key Features:
