Purple Pea Bush
Hovea acutifolia
Purple Pea Bush is a great addition to our gardens because it grows naturally in the understory of our subtropical forests. A really sweet plant, it has a flourish of bright purple pea flowers in late winter that provide a wonderful show. A great space filler and addition to native gardens, it is suitable in a range of soils and is happy in full sun to part shade.
