Polygala myrtifolia Seeds

Common Name: Sweet Pea Shrub

Polygala myrtifolia or Sweet Pea Shrub forms a dense evergreen shrub that grows 60 cm to 1.8 m tall by an equal spread. The unique rich purple flowers have two winged petals that surround the whitish purple lacy crest. They bloom during most of the year, spring is their peak bloom period. Plant in sun or part shade with regular watering.

The name Polygala is latin for "much milk" because of the belief that cows grazing on milkwort increased their milk production. The Cape Malays used to scrape the grey bark of the stems of the plant and mixed it with water till it was frothed up. This froth would be used to wash the dead before burial.
