Purple Coral Pea / False Sarsaparilla

The Purple Coral Pea is an exceptionally tough, adaptable native climber or sprawling groundcover that covers a footprint of 1 to 3 meters. It features single, leathery dark-green leaves and bears an absolute profusion of dense, upright sprays of bright purple pea flowers from winter through to spring. It is virtually bulletproof, handling severe drought and frost while spilling out of large pots or climbing up vertical trellises[cite: 27].
