Gompholobium latifoliumis naturally found in Australia from south-east Queensland to New South Wales and extending to eastern Victoria growing in open forests or protected gullies.

It prefers a very well drained moderately fertile sandy soil in a sunny to semi shaded position and is frost and drought tolerant.

The Broad Wedge-pea is grown for its large flowers and is planted in small gardens along borders for colour or in commercial sites and on embankments in bushland settings. It is suitable for coastal or adjoining mountain regions establishing in 2 to 3 years. It is also planted in rockeries or on roof gardens and may require a light prune to maintain a shrubby habit.
