Aphanopetalum resinosum
Common Name
Gum Vine
Description
Gum Vine is a distinctive native climber that brings vertical interest to Australian gardens with its vigorous twining habit. This hardy vine produces clusters of small white flowers followed by attractive winged seed pods that add ornamental value. The glossy green leaves provide excellent coverage for fences, pergolas, and unsightly structures while creating habitat for native birds and insects. Extremely adaptable and drought tolerant once established, it thrives in various soil conditions and can handle both sun and partial shade. Perfect for creating natural screens, covering arbors, or adding height to native garden designs.
