Image of Guinea-flower
Hibbertia obtusifolia

Dense spreading plant with round green leaves. Flowers are produced in masses, they are large, yellow in colour and are borne from late winter to late summer. Good waterwise plant once it gets established, and tolerant of a wide range of conditions. Good for coastal plantings as it can grow on very sandy soils and is salt tolerant. Can grow in sun or part shade, best flowering is in sunny spots.
