Hardenbergia violacea Mini HaHa

Common Name:
Mini HaHa Purple Coral Pea

Description:
Hardenbergia violacea 'Mini HaHa' is a compact, low-growing variety of the popular Australian native climber, commonly known as Purple Coral Pea. This dense and spreading shrub produces an abundance of small, deep purple pea-like flowers in late winter to early spring, creating a vibrant display against its dark green foliage. Unlike its climbing counterparts, 'Mini HaHa' remains compact and mounding, making it perfect for borders, ground cover, rockeries, or cascading over retaining walls. It thrives in full sun to part shade and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for Melbourne gardens. This hardy plant is also beneficial for attracting bees and butterflies.
