Hardenbergia violacea ‘Sea of Purple’ – Hardenbergia

A spectacular yet tough and easy care ground covering plant, Sea of Purple is well named when in flower. It blooms from spring through summer, and the plant fixes nitrogen from the air, which is good for the soil. It grows low to around 3 metres wide, and the dense habit smothers weeds once established, making it good for home gardens and larger landscapes. Also great for kids playgrounds. Low frost tolerance, drought tolerant, suits light clay to sandy soils, sun to part shade.
