A bushy shrub with masses of bright yellow pea flowers in spring, which occur in loose clusters 10-15 cm long. Erect stems are branched and hairy, and the leaves are oval, blunt, and silvery grey.

Native to central Australia.
Prefers a light, well-drained soil in an open sunny position, drought and frost-resistant.

The ideal time to sow these seeds is when the weather starts to warm up after winter and the soil is still moist.

Although Crotalaria seeds germinate readily, they have a hard outer coating that prevents water from penetrating, and they won't usually germinate unless pre-treated with boiling water.

1. Place the seeds in a container and pour just-boiled water over them.
2. Let the seeds soak overnight.
3. The swollen seeds can then be sown. If some seeds have not swollen, re-treat them.
4. Sow the seeds 5mm deep.
5. Keep the soil moist but not too wet.

Germination and first leaf should occur within 10-21 days at a temperature between 18-22°C

Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.

As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to keep them moist but not too wet.
