Pultenaea daphnoides is naturally found in Australia from Queensland to New South Wales, Victoria to South Australia and extending to Tasmania. It grows in protected positions in gullies, forests and in heathland on the coast and in the adjoining mountains.

It prefers well drained moderately fertile sandy soils in an open sunny to exposed position and is drought, light frost and salt spray tolerant.

The Large-leaf Bush-pea is grown for its flowers and is planted in bushland settings or small gardens for colour along borders or as a specimen. It is suitable for coastal regions establishing in 2 to 3 years. It is also planted in patio pots or on roof gardens tolerating exposed positions where it becomes stunted. ID 2527
