The Australian bluebell creeper turned out to be one of the favorites in our irrigation trials with its year-round fresh green foliage and dainty blue flowers in summer. There were no differenced in growth attributable to irrigation levels, and the quality ratings were very close. The quality ratings chart in the appendix show that for the irrigated season in 2013, all treatments were consistently in the very good range and ended the season at 5.0. If the overall appearance ratings for just this season are averaged, they are all at 4.3 or 4.4.
