Plant in sun or light shade in hot inland areas and is tolerant of sandy to heavy soils. Requires little water once established. This plant has proven to be hardier to cold temperatures than other cultivars in trials in Australia - we cannot verify this yet but Hardenbergia violacea 'Happy Wanderer', the most common selection used in California landscapes, is hardy to around 23° F so we cautiously list this plant as hardy to this temperature as well. Prune after flowering.

Hardenbergia violacea Meema came from the Ozbreed plant introduction program, who has been working on breeding Hardenbergia violacea since around 2000. We began trialing Hardenbergia violacea Meema in 2009 and first offered it in our 2011 catalog but discontinued it in 2014 to concentrate on another low growing cultivar 'Mini Haha' that was introduced in 2015 through the UCSC Koala Blooms Australian Plant Program. We also continue to grow the two vining varieties 'Happy Wanderer' and 'Canoelands'. 

The information displayed on this page about Hardenbergia violacea Meema ['HB1'] is based on the research we have conducted about it in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about this plant as it grows in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant have performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we have received from others and welcome hearing from anyone with information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information that will aid others to better grow it.
