Heavily scented flowers hang in racemes from March right through spring and summer, suspended over sophisticated, evergreen foliage. Hardenbergia violacea enchantingly resembles a miniature flowering Wisteria, with the added bonus of faster growth and a more compact habit. Perfect for the smaller garden or sunny balcony, as well as happy in borders and containers, where the twining stems will cover an obelisk or trellis with very little support. What’s more these beauties will be a hit with local pollinators who come to investigate and enjoy a tasty, nectar-rich treat. Native to open forests and woodlands in Australia, Hardenbergia violacea holds the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society for its outstanding performance in the garden. Hardenbergia violacea prefers to be grown in well-drained soil which is loam or sand based. Position in a sunny spot with a south or east facing aspect. A half-hardy (H3) evergreen, climbing shrub which matures to a height of 2m, spreading to around 1m. Dependent upon where you garden in the UK some protection may be required if temperatures drop below -5°C.
