NATIVE WISTERIA -
INSTRUCTIONS -
Climber or Ground Cover.
Masses of lovely deep blue to violet flowers cover the plant for several months each year.
Quick growing and extremely hardy.
If planted next to a trellis it will quickly cover it with dark green leaves or if no support is given it forms a dense and very effective ground cover.......
WHEN TO SOW - In warm areas or in a glasshouse sow seeds at any time. In frost prone areas sow when danger of frost is over.......
WHERE TO GROW - Full sun or part shade. Any soil type including limestone.......
SOWING - Place seeds in a cup of hot water with a Seed Starter liquid or granules added. Leave overnight then drain and sow.
Fill small pots with moist sandy soil and compress. Sow 2 - 3 seeds 6mm deep into each pot, keep soil moist.
Cover with clear polythene - remove this as soon as seeds start to germinate in 2 - 8 weeks. Place in warm, shady position to germinate.......
CULTIVATION - Thin out to the best seedlings in each pot. Plant out at 10cm high. Water in well and water regularly until established then occasionally in dry weather.....
I have also seen a plant with bluish sprays of flowers.
The clusters of flowers are what gives this species its common name.
This is also successfully grown as a scrambling plant hanging down an embankment.
It sometimes grows as a scrambling shrub rather than as a climber.

Some more information from a different website: 
Hardenbergia comptoniana, an Australian native was named for Franziska, Countess von Hardenberg, sister of Baron Carl AA von Hugel, a 19th century Australian patron of botany. H. comptoniana belongs to the Papilionaceae family. According to Botanary, this family name is from the Latin papilio (butterfly), after the shape of the pea and bean flowers.
The name comptoniana relates to the Compton family of Newby Hall, Yorkshire, England.
Hardenbergia comptoniana is commonly referred to as Compton coral pea, native lilac vine, wild sarsaparilla and wild wisteria.
Growth Habit:
H. comptoniana is a twining vine that grows to six feet high but may also reach as tall as twenty feet when allowed to grow without pruning. Being an evergreen plant, H. comptoniana lends interest to the garden throughout the year. Plant has dark green leaves and pea-like purple blooms. Bloom time is from late spring through late summer. Training the vine on a trellis will create a nice screen for a deck or patio. If preferred, it will also make a thick, tangled groundcover in areas where other plants do not do well.
Needs of Hardenbergia comptoniana:
H. comptoniana like warm temperatures and sunshine but if grown in extremely hot areas, the vine should have a little shade.
Water regularly while plant is young and then enjoy, even in drought prone areas. Once it is established, it can take quite a bit of dry weather if grown in light shade. Feed a well balanced fertilizer; I prefer compost tea, once every two to three months.
Pruning can be done after blooms fade. For a thicker vine, prune the vine only where it twines around itself. Closely watching growth will allow you to pull these limbs out and thread them into the trellis rather than having to trim them back.
It is important to note that this vine will scramble across the ground and wrap itself around other plants. Keep a watchful eye out for this tendency.
Propagation:
Propagation of Hardenbergia is easily accomplished by softwood and semi-hardwood cuttings in early spring. Cuttings should be rooted in a mix of 25% peat moss and 75% sand, kept moist and given plenty of light. Note that this mix can contain as little as 65% and as much as 80% sand with no notable difference in the process of rooting cuttings.
Seeds germinate easily but must be scarified before planting. An example of this can be found in Garden Terms by clicking the link above.

Perhaps an even better known species of Hardenbergia is the Hardenbergia violacea.
Hardenbergia violacea is also a twining vine. There are cultivars which have more shrub-like growth habits such as the H. violacea ‘Mini Haha'. Blooms appear from winter through spring in a variety of colors including white, pink and various shades of purple.
