Luscious spires of densely crowded, sweetly scented, pea flowers in a wide array of colours and combinations, including blue, purple, pink, white and yellow, are carried aloft mounds of long stemmed, velvety, palmate leaves. Beautiful and highly desirable plants that perform poorly in the Perth region. They can sometimes be flowered if grown in moist, but not too moist, sandy soil with plenty of sun, though our hot summer and dry winds are not their friends. Occasionally offered for those who have to try and our gardening friends in cooler regions.
