🦘Australian Sturts Desert Pea Grow and Care Instructions🦘

1. Soak seed in boiling water and leave over night. Drain and place in a tray of sand and seed raising mix 2:1 ratio.
2. Place seeds on a flat tray and pile a couple of handfuls of dry grass over the top. Set alight and when the flames have gone out sprinkle the remaining ash (which contains the seeds) over soil/seed raising mix.

Place seed raising trays in a morning sun, afternoon shaded position. Once the plants are about 2cm tall they can be transferred into individual pots. Apply Seasol every couple of weeks to build a strong root system and promote healthy growth.

To grow the Sturt’s desert pea, it needs perfect drainage, full sun, and minimal watering once the seedling becomes established. A good way to grow in the garden, is in a large tub or a terracotta drainage pipe stood upright and filled with gritty free draining soil. Hanging baskets are also a great way to grow them. It is usually treated as an annual, and should flower 4 months after sowing from seed.

It was formerly known as Clianthus formosus, and is a protected plant in South Australia.
