Description
The "Sea of Purple" cultivar of Hardenbergia violacea, commonly known as Native Wisteria, offers a mesmerising carpet of purple blooms from Makuru to Kambarang (winter to late spring). Unlike traditional climbing Hardenbergia, this variety is a wide-spreading and cascading groundcover that adds a splash of vibrant colour to any garden. Whether covering a slope or enhancing a rockery, "Sea of Purple" is an attractive, low-maintenance choice.
While this groundcover cultivar can be grown in a large pot with a well-draining or premium potting mix, it thrives best in the ground. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil. If you have sandy or poor soil, a soil conditioner will offer a beneficial boost. Fertilise with a low-phosphorus fertiliser during Djeran (autumn) to keep the plant in top condition.
