Gastrolobeum celsianum, or the Swan River Pea, is a low-growing, scrambling, evergreen shrub. Deep red pea flowers make a striking combination with the grey-green and silvery foliage from late winter through spring and sporadically throughout the year. The unique, vibrant flowers produce nectar that attracts honey-eating birds. Prune lightly to promote longer life.
