Plant of the Month

Hardenbergia violacea (AGM) False sasparilla

Gorgeous evergreen twining climber getting up to about 2m/6ft. Handsome leathery leaves and a profusion of dangling pea-like damson coloured flowers from January to March. Why not plant one now so you have something to look forward to after Christmas?

Likes: Sheltered spot in full sun or part shade in any well drained fertile soil

Frost hardy down to -5°/23F; so needs winter protection
Care: Prune lightly after flowering
