Podalyria Lanceolata

Podalyria lanceolata is a striking evergreen shrub native to the mountainous regions of South America. It is known for its elegant, lance-shaped leaves and clusters of vibrant blue or purple flowers that bloom in spring. This plant thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found in shaded forest understories. Its unique appearance makes it a popular choice for ornamental gardening. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure in the wider horticultural community.
