Common Name:
Hibbertia ‘Golden Pinwheels’
Description:
Hibbertia ‘Golden Pinwheels’ is a bright and compact groundcover form of the beloved native guinea flower, prized for its trailing habit and cheerful display of golden-yellow, star-shaped blooms. Flowering prolifically from spring through summer, and often beyond in milder climates, ‘Golden Pinwheels’ lights up the garden with a mass of colour that contrasts beautifully against its dense, glossy green foliage. It performs well in a variety of settings — from native gardens and rockeries to retaining walls, hanging baskets, and borders. Suited to Melbourne’s conditions, this hardy cultivar thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers free-draining soils. Once established, it is both drought and light frost tolerant, requiring little maintenance aside from the occasional tidy-up to shape or refresh growth.
