Podalyria calyptrata, commonly known as the Sweetpea Bush, is a beautiful flowering shrub native to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa. It is renowned for its fragrant, sweetpea-like flowers, which appear in shades of pink and purple. The flowers are produced in abundance, creating a stunning display. It typically grows to a height of about 2-3 meters and has silvery-green foliage. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, typical of fynbos environments. Pruning after flowering can encourage a bushier shape. Propagation is by seed or cuttings.
