Hibbertia vestita, commonly known as Hairy Guinea-Flower, is an evergreen subshrub native to open eucalypt forests and coastal heathlands in Eastern Australia. It typically grows to a height of up to 30 cm (12 in) and has a sprawling habit. The foliage is covered with simple hairs, giving the plant a soft, velvety texture, though the leaves may become glabrous as they mature. This subshrub is notable for its bright yellow flowers that bloom predominantly in spring and autumn, adding a splash of color to the garden landscape.

The Hairy Guinea-Flower is valued for its low-growing, ground-covering form and vibrant flowers, which can enliven rockeries, borders, and native plant gardens. It is relatively easy to maintain, requiring minimal care once established. In cultivation, it thrives in full sun but can tolerate part shade, and it prefers well-drained soils. While it needs regular watering during establishment, it becomes more drought-tolerant over time. It is not commonly afflicted by diseases or pests, making it a resilient choice for gardeners.CC BY-SA 4.0
