Cullen australasicum
Cullen australasicum, commonly known as tall scurf-pea or native scurf pea is a herbaceous, perennial shrub that is native to Australia.
Some stockists in South Australia have Cullen australasicum available to buy for the home garden. Light pruning is recommended to maintain a compact form and to prevent the more common straggly appearance of naturally occurring plants. There are no cultivars currently available.
It predominantly occurs in the arid zone of Australia in low rainfall environments, and can be found in all mainland states and territories. Favoured habitats include rocky gorges, woodland, grassland, dry creek lines and depressions. It is critically endangered in Victoria.
