Hibbertia vestita – Prostrate Guinea Flower

Hibbertia vestita is a low-growing Australian native prostrate shrub valued for its spreading habit, fine foliage and bright yellow flowers. It typically grows to around 30cm high, with stems extending 50cm or more, creating an attractive trailing form well suited to rockeries, borders and native garden plantings.

The small oblong to lance-shaped leaves provide delicate texture, while the cheerful five-petalled yellow flowers are produced individually at the ends of the stems. Naturally occurring across a wide range of environments in New South Wales and Queensland, including coastal heathland and dry sclerophyll woodland, this adaptable species is well suited to Australian garden conditions.
