Dillwynia dillwynioides

Dillwynia dillwynioides is a spindly, low-lying to erect shrub from south-western Western Australia, grown for its yellow, red or orange pea flowers that appear from August to December. It is a native of winter-wet depressions, so it likes free-draining, moist conditions in winter and tolerates a range of conditions in cultivation.
