About This Plant
Polygala chamaebuxus Kamniski is valued for its garden character and seasonal interest in PNW landscapes.
Sweet Pea Shrubs (Polygala) bear pea-shaped purple flowers nearly continuously through warm months. Outstanding sheltered coastal shrubs.
Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 8 to 10. Marginally hardy in zone 8. Drought-tolerant once established.
For a Pacific Northwest native shrub of similar character, consider Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape, Oregon state flower), Philadelphus lewisii (Mock Orange), or Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray) , all support native pollinators and birds.
