Plant Description
Polygala myrtifolia, also known as myrtle-leaf milkwort, is a striking evergreen shrub or small tree native to South Africa. It features glossy, lance-shaped leaves resembling myrtle foliage, giving it its name. The plant is adorned year-round with purple to pink pea-like flowers, each with a distinctive fringed crest. These blooms attract butterflies and bees, making it a pollinator favorite. Its compact, bushy form and vibrant flowers make it a popular choice for ornamental gardens and coastal landscapes.
