6 SUBTROPICALIA CLIMBERS COLLECTOR Botanical Hardenbergia violacea Common Name Native Sarsaparilla, False Sarsaparilla Vine, Purple Coral Pea Family Fabaceae A highly variable species with a wide natural coast distribution extending from central Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. As a result of this diverse climate range spanning coastal forests to mountain ranges, a lot of variation occurs in its characteristics such as habit, leaf size, flower colour and climbing vigour. Depending on where you live, Hardenbergia violacea may be a scrambling vine that prefers to be more of a sparse ground-scrambler that occasionally clings and climbs up nearby plants, or a vigorous highly attractive climber, or it may be shrub-like with thin erect stems. Most of the cultivar specimens sold in garden centres are of the latter two types more attractive in growth and flower colour. Pea-like flowers appear in winter and spring, usually blue-violet and occasionally white or pink. Leaves are dark green with lighter coloured veins. Some references infer that the sarsaparilla-tasting leaves were used as tea substitute by early settlers. When buying, it is important to know from where the plant originates. Many commonly sold cultivars (particularly large flowered climbing forms) originate in southern latitude, winter/spring dominant rainfall areas and are generally short lived in tropical and subtropical areas best grown as annuals during warm and wet periods. Butterfly host: common grass blue. BEST GROWING CONDITIONS Subtropical, warm temperate and cool temperate climates (depending on plant origin) Full sun to dappled shade Free draining soils LANDSCAPE USE Sparse groundcover, straggly shrub or small climber depending on origin Climber for a small trellis or tepee support Sparse groundcover or straggly shrub in a rustic bush garden Butterfly host plant Issue 39 STG 77
