Purple Pea Bush / Narrow-leaf Hovea (Hovea acutifolia)

$10.00

💜 A low-growing native that keeps your garden alive through winter

When many plants slow down, this Hovea brings colour, nectar, and movement back into your garden.

Its deep purple flowers appear in winter–spring, supporting:

  • 🐝 Native bees when food is limited

  • 🦋 Butterflies and beneficial insects

  • 🐦 Small birds foraging and sheltering

  • 🦎 Lizards using the low growth as cover

It’s an easy way to fill empty ground space while still supporting wildlife.
