Purple Milkwort often grows in blowouts
Polygala polygama obtusata
Purple Milkwort


Purple Milkwort grows in the the windiest, driest locations, often at the edge of a blowout--a place where dune conditions still prevail. It produces its small purple flowers in midsummer. Despite its common name, it does not have milky sap.
