Products > Hardenbergia violacea 'Canoelands'   Hardenbergia violacea 'Canoelands' - Purple Vine Lilac     [2nd Image] Habit and Cultural Information Category: Vine Family: Fabaceae = Pea Family Origin: Australia (Australasia) Evergreen: Yes Flower Color: Mauve Bloomtime: Winter/Spring Synonyms: [Hardenbergia monophylla] Height: Climbing (Vine) Width: Spreading Exposure: Sun or Shade Irrigation (H2O Info): Low Water Needs Winter Hardiness: 20-25° F Hardenbergia violacea 'Canoelands' (Purple Vine Lilac) - An evergreen vine that climbs by twining stems to 12-16 feet with simple linear leaves, that are narrower and more squared at the tip that the more common 'Happy Wanderer' with the same pinkish-purple flowers with a chartreuse spot in the center, but the flowers are slightly longer and the flowering period from winter through spring. Plant in sun or light shade in hot inland areas. Requires little water once established. This variety flowers longer than the more common 'Happy Wanderer' variety, often from mid-winter to late spring - it can still be in flower as late as early June while the more common 'Happy Wanderer' finishes up in late March. As with 'Happy Wanderer' it can become a little bare at the base and benefits from an occasional cutting back. We first started growing this nice selection in 2007 after purchasing it from Suncrest Nurseries but have never determined where it originated. We also grow other varieties of Hardenbergia violacea such as 'Happy Wanderer' and 'Mini Haha' and in the past have grown 'Meema' as well as another species, Hardenbergia comptoniana.  This information is based on research conducted about this plant in our nursery library and from reliable online sources. We also take into consideration observations of it in our nursery of crops, as well as of plants growing in the nursery's garden and those in other gardens we have visited. We will incorporate comments received from others and welcome getting feedback from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if it includes cultural information that would aid others in growing Hardenbergia violacea 'Canoelands'.     [MORE INFO]
