a ground cover or climber with bicoloured mauve/white fls in spring
Hardenbergia violacea 'Regent'
A hardy, upright shrub growing to approx. 1 metre tall & 75cm across. It has large leathery leaves that stand out from the stems and is covered with upright bunches of purple pea-shaped flowers in spring.
Hardenbergia violacea 'Flat White'
Flowers:
White, from late July to mid-September
Compact groundcover to 20cm high & up to 4m in diameter
Foliage colour:
Dark green, ca. 40-45mm (w) x 60-65mm (long)
Reasons for distinctiveness:
Hardenbergia violacea ‘Flat White’ is a white
flowered dense foliage true groundcover form whereas most other white
selections are either bushy or climbers.
Hardenbergia violacea 'Aspiration'
It is a scrambling creeper attaining a spread of about 5m
across and with support will climb to a height of about 2m. The leaves are
dark green, about 55mm wide at the base, and taper to a rounded point.
Veining on the upper surface is very distinct. The pink pea-shaped flowers
are produced in compact and numerous racemes arising from the leaf axils
and held vertically above the foliage. Individual flowers are about 10mm
long and about 10mm wide.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from other known forms of the species
in its very compact and numerous racemes with musk pink flowers. These
racemes are held vertically. The species usually has violet flowers. This
cultivar will most commonly be known as H. violacea 'Austraflora
Aspiration'.
Hardenbergia violacea 'Happy Wanderer'
Leaves are lanceolate in shape and plus/minus 8cm long when
mature. They are a glossy green in colour. Leaves tend to be sparser with
longer than normal internodal distances. The flowers are 10mm wide and are
a rich violet-mauve in colour. They are borne profusely in racemes 9cm long
that arise from the leaf axils. Flowers are said to be found from June to
early spring.
Kennedia nigricans 'Minstrel'
The flower colour is the only notable difference of this
cultivar. All other features are the same as Kennedia nigricans.
Diagnosis:
The flowers are black with a pale, almost white patch on the
standard instead of a yellow patch.
Lechenaultia biloba 'White Flash'
A natural colour variant of Lechenaultia biloba which differs
from other forms in that it has a clear and sharp break between the white
central portion of the flower and the deep blue outer area of the petals.
The plant in the wild is an open wiry specimen but with judicious pruning
could be shaped into an attractive garden bush doing best in a light gravel
or sandy soil. Cultivar received by the Authority on 10 December 1974 from
the ANBG.
Grevillea 'Peaches and Cream'
Moderately dense spreading shrub 1.5m in diameter with large cream pink/red terminal racemes for most of the year. Diagnosis:The grouping characteristics used to identify the most similar varieties of common knowledge were – Leaf: margin pinnatisect. Inflorescence: position terminal, form cylindrical. Flower colour: intensifying from cream before anthesis, to pink or red after anthesis. On the basis of these grouping characteristics the following varieties were chosen as comparators: ‘Ned Kelly’ and ‘Superb’. ‘Robyn Gordon’ was also considered for its similar parentage but later excluded as it has red flowers and the early stage colours do not include cream.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Golden Lyre'
Leaves have a dark upper surface whilst the underside is covered with dense silky hairs. Individual leaves are approximately 3cm long and up to 1.2cm wide. The edges ar e rolled under. Flower clusters are
borne terminally on short laterals. Perianth tube and limb is a rich yellow in colour and up to 2cm in length. Style is red and up to about 2cm in length. The flowers are said to be sterile.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is distinguished from its parents in that it falls
intermediate between them in both size of leaf and flower.
