Description
We can call Polygala major the queen of pink Polygalas! It forms a tight clump with long stems covered in bright fuchsia flowers during early summer; sometimes it will reflower later in the season.
I fall in love with this species years ago, after seeing it in the rock gardens of Wrigthman Alpines. The hard part was to source a few seeds so I can grow it; seeds of all Polygala spp. are so very hard to catch.
But once we have seeds it is actually a very easy species to grow in a sunny/good drainage location.
Germination: warm germinator. If started very early the seedlings can be transplanted in the ground in the first year (they may even produce few flowers!). Fresh seeds will benefit from a period of dry/cold storage before sowing (post-maturation), so keep the seed pck. in the fridge until sowing in the spring.
