It prefers a well drained sandy soil in a semi shaded to full sun position and is drought and frost tolerant. 

The Fine-leaf Bush-pea is grown for its showy flower heads and is planted in small gardens or in bushland settings. It establishes in 2 to 3 years and is suitable for coastal regions. It is also planted in shrub borders for colour and is ideal in sandstone based soils. ID 3012
