Snake Vine - Hibbertia Scandens

Hibbertia scandens produce large golden-yellow flowers for most of the year amongst dark green glossy leaves on twining stems. This plant is an Australian native well accustomed to Australia's ever-changing climate meaning it is extremely hardy and will tolerate the sometimes harsh conditions. Hibbertia scandens is an ideal groundcover, especially over embankments and with support can become a climbing plant used to cover fences, walls, pergolas and buildings. Hibbertia scandens is best grown in a sunny, open position in well drained soil, but will tolerate part shade. Hibbertia scandens is hardy and will withstand coastal conditions, including salt-laden winds. Hibbertia scandens requires relatively low maintenance. Prune well after flowering to encourage more compact growth. Hibbertia scandens will grow up to 30cm high and 2m wide. With support to climb it can reach 5m high.
