Growing hardenbergia violacea in my subtropical climate

Hello,

Can someone tell me whether hardenbergia violacea will grow good in my climate which is subtropical semi-arid with winter hardiness zone 10b. Our summers are extremely hot around 110F and winters are mild around 5C. Monsoon season in July-September.

btw, i intend to grow hardenbergia violacea it by seed which i got in a trade.

regards,
Khabbab

Hi khabbab. I live in a subtropical climate and it is indigenous to my area, so should do very well for you.

Thanks. And how long approx. it will take to flower from seed? second year i guess?

It flowers in its first year here. It varies between late Winter to very early Summer.
