The Yellow-leafed Gastrolobium is a tall, erect shrub that can grow to 2 m high. The flowers are red, and the flowering period is from September to November. The flowers tend to hang down, allowing pollination by honeyeaters, which perch on the stem and probe the flowers for nectar. Seeds of the Yellow-leafed Gastrolobium germinate following fire, and occasional fire is needed for recruitment.
