once again, i blow a little kissy to hardenbergia happy duo violacea for being one of the most beautiful plants to ever exist
i am starting to realise i am simply a sucker for pea-like flowers.
but the violacea has these beautiful violet (surprise!) flowers and delicate yellow dots on the hood of the flower and they also have white petals sometimes??? and the leaves are so fantastic they are sword-like and such an excellent contrast to the delicate crowded flowers and in frost they get a little blush and hhhhhhh it's such!!!! a good plant!!!!!

Hi glowstick
Your ocs are now flowers in a bouquet. Tell me about it/them.
This is probably the ugliest bouquet anyone has ever seen in their life, but... Ellira is a Bougainvillea. Rowan is Hardenbergia violacea, otherwise called 'Happy Wanderer'. Red is a a handful of Bunny Tails. Petra is a carnation 🌼

In flower today at Hillsborough Dog Show Grounds is the Hardenbergia (Hardenbergia violacea) it’s an Australian native. Also known as false sarsaparilla, purple coral pea and waraburra, purple twining-pea, vine-lilac and wild sarsaparilla. It grows in eastern Queensland, eastern New South Wales, south-eastern Victoria and southern South Australia and one spot in Tasmania. It is a prostrate or climbing subshrub with bunches (racemes) of really pretty purple flowers. This one is climbing on a little wattle. I may try digging up a runner as I lost mine two years ago. #flowers #flower #abcmygarden #austraeliannative #ausnatives #ausnative #purple #vine #winterflowering (at Hillsborough) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg3tOzXP6No/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Screening with Hardenbergia violacea
This climber always surprises me every year with how aptly it lives up to its common name of Happy Wanderer. The little pea flower spikes really do have tiny smiling faces with bright green eyes.
Hardenbergia violacea is a local native climber or scrambler to most of the east coast of Australia, growing naturally on well drained soils in dry sclerophyll forest. It has had the advantage of being cultivated and bred in the last decade or into being a shrub, a ground cover and a climber.
The species in these images is actually a ground cover form which has taken hold of a cyclone fence and completely covered it. The luscious dark green leaves do a wonderful job of screening and make the fence look more like a narrow hedge.
Hardenbergia violacea is quick growing and loves to use its tendrils to reach for the sun, however it is not aggressive enough to really do damage to outdoor structures or other plants.
So if you have a small space in a decent amount of sun give this climber a try, it is sure to reward you with a happy show every late winter.
And if it gets a little unruly, just take to it with the hedging shears 😉 this will stop it climbing on other plants and thicken the screen even further.
It really should be considered a staple in many a native garden and with all it various forms it will easily be a useful native plant.

Hardenbergia Violacea, a wandering perennial native to Australia.
Some parts of the plant can be used as food/drink. The leaves, for example, can be steeped into a mildly sweet tea. It produces abundant seeds in pods which can be easily germinated to grow new plants from seed. The new plants can bloom within their first year.

Hardenbergia violacea, is a native Fabaceae vine from eastern Australia. It can climb if support is provided, if not, it just grows like a ground cover like this.
