Polygala chamaebuxus 'Grandiflora' (syn. 'Rhodoptera'), Large-Flowered Box-Leaved Milkwort well-draining soil Unusual and delightfulViolet pink and yellow pea like flowers cover the surface of a tidy mat of evergreen boxwood like leaves in early spring. Thereafter, it freely reblooms, though less, but each time a lovely surprise. Very dense, it suppresses weeds completely and so makes the perfect, non marauding ground cover. Best grown in well drained soil that is allowed to dry between waterings and light shade. A mature plant can handle full sun with very little summer water.
