creeping betty 001

I’ve always propagated by cutting and the original plant on my balcony is now ten years old with may it of it in other pots and given away. I don’t know the proper name for this one and drew a blank n a Google search as Creeping Betty, although that was the name on the stick which came with the original plant. It grows rapidly, doesn’t mind having cuttings taken and often needs to be cut back. It flowers but once a year, a shame because it is very showy.

  1. I keep coming back to creeping Betty.I note that it is a climber and that it is yellow. In my parents Christchurch garden there is a bush that is similar,It too only flowers once a year. The flowers are bright orange. They only last about a week. Then are gone. We all love it. We look forward to it every year. It is very special to us. We think of it as our private Christmas tree. It looks like a hydrangea but it’s not!
