Bossiaea heterophylla (Variable-leaf Bossiaea)

Bossiaea heterophylla is a vibrant coastal and woodland shrub prized for its striking pea-shaped flowers. The bright yellow-orange standards, red-basal markings, and contrasting dark red keel petals create a bold display that enhances native gardens and naturalistic plantings.

This hardy shrub thrives in sandy-sandstone soils and dry sclerophyll forest environments, making it ideal for low-maintenance coastal gardens, heathlands, and woodland edges. Its compact growth habit and evergreen foliage provide structure and colour throughout the year.
