{"product_id":"polygala-virgata-portola","title":"Purple Broom","description":"\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePurple 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarathon Bloomer: One of the longest-blooming shrubs, producing vibrant purple-pink flowers almost continuously from spring through fall.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFast, Informal Growth: Quickly forms a dense, rounded shrub with a slightly arching habit, reaching 4-6 feet tall and wide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnfussy \u0026amp; Tough: Adapts to a wide range of well-drained soils, is highly drought and heat tolerant once established, and is generally pest-free.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAttracts Beneficial Insects: The nectar-rich flowers are a reliable food source for bees and butterflies throughout the growing season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeal for Slopes \u0026amp; Low-Maintenance Areas: Excellent for erosion control on sunny banks or in water-wise gardens where color is desired with minimal input.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Victory Nursery","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":43447628824664,"sku":null,"price":49.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8000\/6232\/files\/Purple_Broom-1.png?v=1764372540","url":"https:\/\/victorynursery.us\/products\/polygala-virgata-portola","provider":"Victory Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
