Polygala chamaebuxus 'Grandiflora'

shrubby milkwort

Ground cover, flowers striking violet yellow and fragrant. Also very good foliage plant, and evergreen. Now also available with cultivar name 'Purple Passion'. I don't know where the cultivar name comes from and whether it is really different from the species or just a 'selling name'
