Luckily, this attractive genus provides a small-garden alternative to the well-known rampant Canary Creeper, S. tamoides. A slender creeper with small creamy-yellow daisy flowers that cover the small, ivy-shaped leaves through summer, and on and off through the year. It is neat and small enough to twine quickly over a pergola or up a trellis without interfering with any gutters or tiles. Prune back at the end of winter. Sun, semi-shade. Flowers mainly in summer. There is a variegated form that would help lighten a shady spot, but in the sun, I prefer the stronger, bright green leaves to show off the lemon-yellow flowers.
