Sturt's Desert Pea, a well-known wildflower and the floral emblem of South Australia, is recognized for its striking deep scarlet or red flowers with a black or dark red center. The individual flowers, about 90 mm long, bloom in clusters of 5 to 6 during late spring and summer. The plant can be an annual or short-lived perennial and is endemic to Australiaβs arid regions, thriving in well-drained soils under full sun. It is both drought and frost resistant.
