A fast-growing and erect
evergreen tree to 9 m high.
Although it is an evergreen, it
can be semi-deciduous in cooler
climates. Foliage is fern-like.
Lightly perfumed, pink–purple
pea-flowers with dark burgundy
veins appear in late winter
through to spring. This plant
performs best in full-sun in a
freely-drained position.
