Polygala fruticosa | Petite Butterfly | Sweet Pea Bush Frances Palmer Henk GerritsenRenowned for producing flowers pretty much every month of the year, with the strongest flushes in spring and summer, this gorgeous, striking compact shrub with bright magenta pink pea shaped flowers are so easy to grow. Attractive to bees, birds and butterflies, as well as all the other pollinators, and well suited to growing in pots and containers. Petite Butterfly is a smaller and more compact variety which grows to only about 80cm tall and wide.
