35+ seeds
The Darling Pea (Swainsona galegifolia) of inland New South Wales and Queensland is a long-lived shrubby perennial worth having in every garden because of its easy cultivation and very long flowering season.
Flower spikes are up to 15 cm long and are held well on long stems up to 1m tall.
The old flowered branches must be cut out each year at the end of winter, or in warmer climates after the main flowering season in autumn. Swainsona is poisonous to stock.
