Daviesia mesophylla is a low, glossy-leaved Australian shrub from south-west Western Australia, growing 1 to 2 m tall with yellow, orange, red and cream pea-type flowers. It grows naturally in sandy and rocky heath, so good drainage and full sun are the key to growing it.
Daviesia mesophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a low-lying, glabrous shrub with sharply-pointed, linear or narrowly egg-shaped phyllodes with the narrower end towards the base, and yellow to orange, red and cream-coloured flowers.
This daviesia grows in sand and on rocky slopes in mallee-heath and heath in the Stirling Range and near Denmark in the Esperance Plains and Jarrah Forest biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.
