Gastrolobium Celsianum, Swan River Pea (syn: Brachysema)

Gastrolobium celsianum, commonly known as the Swan River Pea, is a striking shrub native to Western Australia. It is renowned for its vibrant pea-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of red, orange, and yellow, creating a stunning display of color.

Growing Gastrolobium celsianum requires a sunny position with well-draining soil. It thrives in dry, sandy conditions and is well-suited to coastal gardens. However, it is essential to note that the plant contains toxic compounds, so it should be handled with care and kept away from children and pets.

The Swan River Pea is relatively low-maintenance once established, requiring little water and minimal pruning. It is a drought-tolerant species that can withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and native gardens.
With its striking flowers and resilience, Gastrolobium celsianum is a beautiful addition to any Australian garden, particularly those seeking to incorporate native species.
