Weed Potential
As a weedthe Australian Bluebell Creeper is a commonly cultivated plant in gardens but is invasive in regions with rainfall over 700mm (28in) annually. It invades coastal woodlands predominately in southern Victoria.

The vine has a fast growth rate forming stems that create a dense covering over low growing vegetation and can reach into shrubs smothering them and cutting out the light.
It prefers an open sunny position but will tolerate semi shade and light frost. It grows on most well drained soils and when mature it tolerates dry periods. The seed is dispersed by birds and animals or in garden waste and soil.

Control methodsinclude physically digging out small infestations including the roots or the vine may be severed at the base and the foliage left in the canopy to dry out. Fruiting stems should be cut and bagged where possible, and then all plant material should be removed off site and destroyed.

The plants may be cut back in early spring to reduce seed production and large stems can be scraped or drilled and painted with a non selective herbicide. Plants may be sprayed with a non-selective herbicide from spring to autumn but follow up applications will be required.
