Balloon Peas or Cancer Shrubs are tropical and subtropical woody shrubs or small trees from Africa with ornamental feathered leaves and showy bright colored flowers in terminal clusters. Sutherlandia frutescens (syn. Lessertia frustescens) is said to have anticancer properties. They are easily cultivated in pots in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot throughout the year. Keep plants drier in winter at a minimum of some 10°C.
