Home > Question >

Can I grow my 'Sweet Pea Bush' outdoors?


Our Advice:

This plant Polygala myrtifolia, originates from South Africa and is hardy down to about minus 5c. It prefers a warm situation and a free-draining soil or compost. During harder winters this plant will need some protection, it is often grown in a container so that it can be moved to a sheltered position if required.
