(Hardenbergia comptoniana)

Hardenbergia comptoniana, commonly known as the Native Coral Pea or Western Australian Wisteria, is a vigorous evergreen climber producing cascades of vivid purple pea-shaped flowers during late winter and spring. Its lush green foliage and spectacular blooms make it a favourite for covering fences, trellises, retaining walls, and pergolas.

This fast-growing Australian native climber reaches up to 2–3 metres high and wide, creating a dense cover that also attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil, tolerating both coastal conditions and light frost. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and low maintenance.

A resilient, decorative native ideal for adding colour, structure, and wildlife value to Australian gardens.

Growing tips

Seeds of many native/endemic species require specific conditions that mimic their natural habitat or specially formulated seed treatments, to break dormancy. 

Do not be to quick to discard pots that haven't yet shown signs of seed germination. Seeds will often lay dormant until conditions are optimal and will produce amazing results, long after they have been forgotten.

Pre-treatment of smoke is recommended for most native species.

Research shows that many members of this species are responsive to pre-treatment of smoke, which mimocs an Australian bushfire. Although germination will may occur without smoke treatment it has proved be beneficial in reducing the number of days to germination and increasing germination rates of this species.

Smoke treatments are simple and can be undertaken by applying to the surface after sowing.
