Pultenaea daphnoides, commonly known as large-leaf bush-pea or large-leaf bitter-pea, is a perennial shrub endemic to a variety of habitats including heathlands, dry sclerophyll forests, and coastal scrub in southeastern Australia. It is found from southeast Queensland, along the coast and tablelands of New South Wales, to Victoria, Tasmania, and southeast South Australia, including Kangaroo Island. This shrub typically reaches 3-10 feet in height and has hairy, four-angled stems. Its foliage consists of wedge-shaped to egg-shaped leaves that are often clustered. The bright yellow and red pea-like flowers are showy and appear in dense clusters from late winter to early summer (September to November in the Southern Hemisphere), followed by distinctive egg-shaped seed pods.

The large-leaf bush-pea is valued for its hardiness and ornamental qualities, including its vibrant flowers which attract pollinators such as bees. It is suitable for informal hedges and native plant gardens, and can be used to stabilize soil in erosion-prone areas. In cultivation, it prefers well-drained soils and tolerates a range of soil types. It thrives in full sun to part shade. While generally low-maintenance, it should be planted away from sewer mains due to its root system. There are no major disease issues, but it can be sensitive to root disturbance.CC BY-SA 4.0
