"Hibbertia stellaris", or Star Guinea Flower, is a brilliantly orange flowering ground cover from South Western Australia botanical province. It naturally grows in swamps. Despite this, it is extremely sensitive to "phytophthora" and needs to be grown in well drained soil in cultivation. The specific epithet is from the Greek for star.

Cultivation

"Hibbertia stellaris" is easily propagated by cuttings taken in spring after flowering. It is best grown in an open, acid soil with underlying water (such as in a saucer of water, or better, on a capillary mat). It is generally short lived in cultivation.
