Other forms of Native Sarsaparilla are typically climbers or even an upright bush but ‘Sea of Purple’ is naturally a spreading ground cover well suited trailing over retaining walls and from hanging baskets.

I am hardy and adaptable but for best results plant me in full sun or part shade position. I perform well in most soils but am happiest in light clays and free draining soils.

My clusters or small pea like flowers are a magnet for butterflies, native bees and other beneficial insects.

Being a member of the pea family I improve the soil by fixing nitrogen benefiting other plants.
