Tephrosia grandiflora, commonly known as Pink Bush Pea, is a semi-deciduous shrub native to the savannas and open woodlands of Southern Africa. It typically grows to a height of 4-10 feet (1.2-3 meters) and a width of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters). The plant features pinnate leaves and produces showy, bicolored flowers that are pink and red, which bloom in the summer and fall, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Pink Bush Pea is valued for its ornamental flowers and ability to adapt to various garden settings. It is often used in border plantings, as a specimen plant, or integrated into mixed shrub borders for its colorful floral display. This shrub is relatively easy to maintain, requiring only occasional pruning to keep its shape. In cultivation, it prefers full sun to part shade and requires well-drained soil, tolerating a range of soil types from sandy to loamy. While it has medium water requirements, it is somewhat drought-tolerant once established. Gardeners should be aware that Tephrosia species can be toxic to livestock due to the presence of secondary compounds such as rotenoids.CC BY-SA 4.0
