Black Coral Pea (Kennedia nigricans) 20 Seeds
 
 
This climber needs room to grow - lots of room to grow. It can grow five or six metres in all directions and it grows very fast.From August to December Kennedia nigricans produces distinctive yellow and black pea-flowers.The leaves are olive-green, usually quite ovate (wide oval) and hairy along the vein.Kennedia nigricans is found naturally in the south of Western Australia in sandy soils in woodland or heathland, usually close to the coast.It needs fairly well-drained soils, although it does seem to be quite tolerant of heavier soils in Melbourne and tolerates slightly alkaline soils too.
It's ideal for embankments, covering garages, and it is brilliant for screening as long as the structure is sturdy.Nectar feeding birds love kennedias.
 
 
K. nigricans prefers full sun but doesn't mind dappled shade. It will not tolerate heavy frost, but will endure light frost.
