Polygala Little Charmer

Common Name:
Polygala 'Little Charmer'

Description:
Polygala 'Little Charmer' is a compact, evergreen shrub renowned for its vibrant purple-magenta flowers that bloom almost continuously throughout the year. A dwarf form of Polygala myrtifolia, this hardy and colourful plant features dense green foliage and a naturally rounded, bushy habit. It’s perfect for adding a splash of colour to borders, cottage gardens, containers, or low hedging. Thriving in Melbourne’s temperate climate, 'Little Charmer' prefers a sunny to partly shaded position in well-drained soil and tolerates light frost and periods of dryness once established. Light pruning after flowering will help maintain its shape and encourage more blooms. Its long-lasting floral display and compact size make it a favourite among gardeners looking for year-round colour with minimal effort.
