Polygala myrtifolia: characteristics and care
Polygala myrtifolia, popularly known as polygala, is a perennial shrub native to South Africa that stands out for its almost continuous flowering, with small pinkish-purple butterfly-shaped flowers, on a small greyish-green foliage.
Its almost permanent flowering and rounded shape make it a very decorative option for both flowerbeds and informal hedges in Mediterranean gardens.
It tolerates moderate drought well once established and adapts to various soil types, provided it has good drainage.
At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
