Hardenbergia violacea is a species of Australian flowering plants. It is known by the names False Sarsparilla, Purple Coral Tree and Waraburra (which comes from the Kattang language).[1]. They often grow as climbing vines, but also as subshrubs.[2]
It has typical pea family flowers which are usually violet but can be white, pink or other colours.[3]. The leaves are dark green, "hard" and leathery, with prominent venation.
H. violacea is a widespread species found in many habitats. It is also widely grown as a hardy garden plant, with many cultivars now available.[3]
