Hardenbergia violacea is a tough, low-maintenance Australian native vine that thrives in well-drained soils with part shade to full sun. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as the plant is moderately drought-tolerant once established. It produces stunning sprays of purple pea-flowers in late winter to spring and requires minimal pruning after flowering.
