Hardenbergia comptoniana – Native Wisteria

Hardenbergia comptoniana - native wisteria

This plant is distinguished by masses of purple pea flowers in spring on a vigorous climber with attractive dark green glossy leaves. Use it to screen fences or walls or as a vigorous ground cover that can stabilise embankments. It needs very little fertiliser and can stand dry conditions very well. Give it a trim after flowering if you feel a tidy up is necessary.
