Hardenbergia violaceae 'Mystic Marvel'
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 'Poorinda Stephen'
It is a small shrub growing to a height of about 1m. The
narrow pungent leaves are entire and about 20mm long and 3mm wide. The
upper surface is pale green with prominent veins whilst the underside is
grey and covered with dense silky hairs. The flowers are formed into
clusters and are borne terminally in the leaf axils. The perianth is a deep
pink and about 14mm long and the prominent styles are about 25mm long. The
flowers are said to be sterile.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from its parents in that it is
smaller in size. The leaves are also smaller than those usually seen on
both parents.
Grevillea 'Poorinda Vivacity'
It is a small shrub growing to a height of about 1m with an
equal spread. The leaves are entire with a small point. Each leaf is about
30mm long and about 8mm wide. The upper leaf surface is grey-green and
faintly hairy with prominent veins while the underside is grey being
covered with dense silky hairs. The flowers are formed into clusters and
are borne terminally and in leaf axils. The perianths are deep rose in
colour and up to 12mm long. The red styles are up to 30mm long. The flowers
are said to be sterile.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar differs from its stated parents in habit and leaf
shape. Grevillea 'Poorinda Vivacity' does not grow as tall as Grevillea
oleoides. It also has a denser habit. The leaves are larger and have more
hairs on both sides than Grevillea speciosa, however they are not as long
as those of the large leafed form of Grevillea oleoides.
Grevillea 'Sandra Gordon'
The leaves are very deeply lobed and are about 200mm long by
approximately 150mm wide. Individual lobes are very fine being 1.5-4m wide.
Occasionally the lobes are sub-divided into two. The upper surface is shiny
green whilst the underside is covered with silvery hairs. The leaf edges
are rolled under. The flowers encircle the stem and are produced
terminally. The rachis or stem on which the flowers are borne extends a
short distance beyond the last floret as in G. sessilis. The bright yellow
flower heads, which are produced in profusion over a long period, are about
120mm long by about 80mm wide. The very woolly perianth tube is about 8mm
long. The styles, which are the colourful parts of the inflorescence, are
about 30cm long.
Diagnosis:
This cultivar is different from its parents in that the foliage
is intermediate with perhaps a greater affinity to G. pteridifolia. The
habit also tends to be intermediate. The flower colour differs in that it
is lighter than is usually seen in G. pteridifolia and a much richer colour
than is usual for G. sessilis. The flowers encircle the rachis as in G.
sessilis but not in G. pteridifolia.
