Hibbertia saligna is naturally found in Australia growing on the Blue Mountains and extending to the southern tablelands in New South Wales, appearing in damp gullies along water courses or in protected forests. It prefers a well drained, fertile moist light soil in a semi shaded protected position and is frost and drought tolerant.

The Tall Guinea-flower is grown for its flowers and is planted in small gardens as a specimen or in shaded rockeries and as an understorey plant. It is suitable for coastal tableland regions establishing in 2 to 3 years. It can also be grown in containers or mass planted as a low border in bushland settings. ID 2476
