Swan River pea is adaptable to a wide range of soils and climates in sun or semi shade. It grows well in humid areas of the Australian east coast where many other plants from Western Australian do not thrive. Its flowers produce nectar attracting honey-eating birds and it tolerates at least moderate frosts. Propagation is easy from seed following pre-treatment to break the physical dormancy provided by the impervious seed coat. The seed retains viability for many years.
Cuttings strike well using firm, current season's growth.
