Hardenbergia violacea 'Happy Wanderer' (Purple Vine Lilac) - An evergreen vine that climbs by twining stems to 12-16 feet. Simple, oblong (2-4 inches) leaves clothe these stems. Pinkish-purple flowers with a chartreuse spot in center cascade like small Wisteria blossoms in the winter to early spring. Plant in sun or light shade in hot inland areas. Tolerates and even prefers heavy soil so long as it drains well. Requires little water once established.
Prune lightly and regularly to maintain shape and promote fresh growth - prune more firmly after flowering.
Hardy to around 23° F and short duration dips to slightly lower – expect severe damage if temperatures drop below 20 F.
