Description

The Australian Bluebell creeper is a spreading evergreen shrub that grows 2'-3' tall, or a climbing vine that grows to 8' tall with support. It has attractive, glossy green foliage and blue, bell-shaped summer flowers. This shrub can tolerate full sun or part shade on the coast , and part shade inland. It can grow under Eucalyptus trees, and needs good drainage. It requires a regular irrigation regime to persist and be presentable in the garden. It is not necessarily considered "thirsty". In cool coastal climates, once established in the landscape, it would require irrigation once a week to once every other week. In hotter and drier times of the year, it may require more frequent irrigation and may also not require any supplemental irrigation during winter or when spring rains are abundant.
