Psoralea
pinnata ~ African Scurfpea
|
| The African Scurfpea is a
fast growing shrub with a great show of purple-blue pea flowers in the
Spring. Psoralea pinnata is frost tender if temperatures drop much
below 28. Psoralea pinnata will grow best in moderately well drained
soils but will survive in heavy soils if summer water is used
sparingly. The African Scurfpea can grow to 10 feet but usually tops
out at 6-8 feet. I like the dense foliage and use this plant in a
mixed border. Older branches on the inside die off and need to be
removed to keep the plants looking their best.
