H. comptoniana is definitely a shrubby, compact plant with little ambition to climb under natural and garden conditions here in Australia. I wonder HM water plants in CA grow that makes them so much more vigorous? Or perhaps the growth is a result of hybrid vigour? tn

It's so interesting and strange to me hearing people talking about hardenbergia as if it's this exotic plant when I've grown up seeing it wild in the bush and in every second garden! We always overlook to a degree what is in our own back yards I suppose...  I can drive down the roads east of here and see it growing on the verges.

Long hot summers, mild wet winters. Rainfall approx. 600mm pa.
Summer maximums over 40 degrees, winter minimums occasionally below freezing.
Gardening on neutral clay loam and sandy loam.

We got this as a white flowering form of Hardenbergia violacea but it doesn't seem inclined to climb,
cheers
