 o
plant vine identity

Posted by rudykl (My Page) on

Many years ago I was given some seeds to a vine which I believe came for New Zeland or thereabouts.

The seed pod was dark brown in color with a velvet coating.

It produced a vine that had flowers similar to a wisteria plant. The vine had large glossy leaves and grew to a great height. I lost the seed in a move several years ago and would like to reestablish them in my yard here in Texas.
I would appreciate the name , source, or seed itself if possible..
Thank You for your attention

Could it be Australia's Native Sasparilla/Native Wisteria - Hardenbergia violacea. It's leaves are glossy but not what I would call large. - hope it is what you are after!
