For Advertising Call Mary 0400 363 563 DECEMBER 2019 DOORAL ROUNDUP 23PURPLE TWINING PEA
HIDDEN IN THE HILLS
By Lachlan Turner
Throughout open woodland and scrubby forest can be found the
Purple Twining Pea (Hardenbergia violacea) twisting and twining
its way over and through understorey plants of up to 2 metres in
height. Where conditions are ideal, masses of purple flowers can
be seen, in season, all over the supporting plant. The observant
bushwalker could be forgiven in thinking that this plant is a shrub
or bush in its own right.
Not so, as it is in effect a vine that twists and turns in a somewhat
haphazard fashion around the branches of the host plant. In
situations where this plant is growing and it has not been able to
find a supporting bush, it will spread in a prostrate habit across
the ground, even twisting upon itself, forming a brilliant spring
display ground cover.
The leaves are generally shaped in the form of an elongated arrow
head.
Where the tendrils of the vine-like branchlets have reached the
limit of their host support the plant continues to grow, resulting
in a graceful drooping display of flower laden growth. Its main
flowering period is from late July to early October.
Due to the attractive colours of its pea shaped flowers,
horticulturists have developed many cultivars with several colour
variations, that are suitable for the home garden. When grown in
a home garden this plant prefers a position of full sun in a frost
free location as well as a well drained soil that mimics its natural
bushland habitat. It responds well to pruning to keep it compact.
This plant has also been given a variety of descriptive names, the
most appropriate, possibly is, “Happy Wanderer” which typically
describes its growth habit. It is also known as “False Sarsparilla”
and “Purple Coral Pea”.
