Hardenbergia

What is the plant

Hardenbergia are climbing evergreen perennials also known as the ‘Lilac Vine’, closely resembling a miniature flowering Wisteria. Gorgeous elongated and ovate foliage adorn thin wiry stems alongside small, pea-like flowers throughout spring and summer. Hardenbergia are best suited to flower beds, borders and containers within a cottage or informal garden setting. However, it is recommended that they are best grown in pots where they can be easily transplanted during cold conditions. You should expect to see Hardenbergia grow to an approximate height of between 2-4m (6.5-13’) and a spread of 50cm (20”).
