Psoralea pinnata, commonly known as Fountain Bush, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to the fynbos and forest margins of South Africa. It typically grows to heights of 5 to 13 feet (1.5 to 4 meters) and is characterized by its fine, needle-like leaves and an upright, spreading habit. The plant blooms from October to December, producing showy clusters of white, lilac, or blue pea-shaped flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators.

Fountain Bush is valued for its ornamental flowers and as a fast-growing screen or hedge in gardens. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. While it is drought-tolerant once established, regular watering will promote more vigorous growth and flowering. Psoralea pinnata is also used in restoration projects due to its nitrogen-fixing ability, which improves soil fertility. However, gardeners should be cautious as it can become invasive outside its native range, particularly in areas with Mediterranean climates.CC BY-SA 4.0
