Heath milkwort
Polygala serpyllifolia
Heath milkwort is a delicate, low-growing wildflower of heathlands and acidic grasslands that requires specific growing conditions, including acidic, nutrient-poor, and well-drained soil. It benefits from full sun to partial shade and resents rich or fertilized soils, making it best suited for specialist wildflower gardens or meadow restorations. Regular watering to maintain slight moisture is important, but established plants have some tolerance to drier spells.
