Its dense, boxwood-like, dark green glossy leaves form a ground-hugging evergreen carpet to maybe 10 or 12 inches tall and up to 2 feet wide. In spring, abundant, unique pea-like vivid purple and yellow bicolor flowers adorn the plant and rebloom lighter throughout summer and fall. Thriving in sun or part shade and most any type of well-drained soil, it is a nice addition as an accent in small garden spaces and containers or in a grouping or as a border in larger garden beds. It looks right at home in the rock garden or near a boulder. Sure to be a conversation piece.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe Genus name comes from the Greek words \"polys\" meaning \"much\" and \"gala\" meaning \"milk,\" in reference to a belief dating back to the medieval era that ingestion of plant leaves by certain nursing mammals resulted in increased milk production, hence milkwort in one of the plants common names. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing 8 to 12 inches tall and up to 24 inches wide, Rhodoptera Chaparal Pea is ideal for use as an accent in small garden spaces and containers or in groupings in large garden beds.

When established it is quite drought tolerant but will appreciate an occasional drink during extended dry periods. Keep an eye on plants growing in containers and provide water if you see the foliage begin to wilt or discolor. Feed in spring and again in early summer with a slow-release flower food or natural or organic plant food.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57937638883631,"sku":"D2LSC 6709962696","price":34.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/7298\/4879\/files\/polygaloides-chamaebuxus-rhodoptera-shrubby-milkwort-8.jpg?v=1778596845","url":"https:\/\/wwilsonbrosgardens.com\/products\/rhodoptera-chapparal-pea-polygala-chamaebuxus-1-gallon-pot","provider":"wwilsonbrosgardens.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
