Description
A low growing trailing shrub or climber which has twining rust-coloured branchlets with rounded leaflets that are about 1.5 cm long and occur in threes. Orange red or scarlet pea flowers are produced in clusters between August and November. The species is naturally adapted to sandy or lighter soils and prefers some shade although we have grown it successfully in full sun. It is resistant to drought and has some frost tolerance.
