Swainsona beasleyana is a trailing herbaceous perennial to 20cm with stout, hairy stems, erect leaves, and purple-blue-pink flowers on racemes 20-40 cm tall. Flowering occurs from August to September.
Pinnate leaves with 15- 23 leaflets obliquely ovate with a recurved pointed apex, 10-25-5mm.
Occurs naturally in the IBRA region of the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Great Victoria Desert, Murchison, Nullarbor and Yalgoo in Western Australia.
It is adaptable to most sandy or gravelly loam soils in an open sunny position and is drought tolerant in drought and arid locations.

The best time to sow the seed in temperate climates is spring to early summer.
Swainsona seeds germinate readily; however, they have a hard outer coating impervious to water. To assist in the uptake of moisture for germination, the seed is best scarified by pre-treating it with hot water.
Germination should occur in 7-14 days @ 18-24°C.
