Description

Purple Broom, often sold as Sweet Pea Shrub, is a popular, free-flowering evergreen shrub celebrated for its incredibly long bloom season and ease of care. It is smothered in a profusion of vivid purplish-pink, pea-shaped flowers with a crested lip from early spring well into fall, and often year-round in mild climates. Its fine-textured, bright green foliage on arching branches creates a soft, informal look. Tough, drought-tolerant, and fast-growing, it is ideal for adding non-stop color to slopes, informal hedges, or mixed shrub borders.

• Marathon Bloomer: One of the longest-blooming shrubs, producing vibrant purple-pink flowers almost continuously from spring through fall.

• Fast, Informal Growth: Quickly forms a dense, rounded shrub with a slightly arching habit, reaching 4-6 feet tall and wide.

• Unfussy & Tough: Adapts to a wide range of well-drained soils, is highly drought and heat tolerant once established, and is generally pest-free.

• Attracts Beneficial Insects: The nectar-rich flowers are a reliable food source for bees and butterflies throughout the growing season.

• Ideal for Slopes & Low-Maintenance Areas: Excellent for erosion control on sunny banks or in water-wise gardens where color is desired with minimal input.
