It can sometimes be found growing in the wild as an introduced species or garden escapee, for example in other Australian states[3][4][5] and in California,[6] where it is popular in landscaping.

The purplish-green, cylindrical, sausage-shaped fruits (up to 20 millimetres (0.8 in) in length) are initially densely hairy, but become smooth as they ripen.

[8] The bluebell creeper was first described by English botanist John Lindley in 1831 as Sollya heterophylla,[9][10] and was reassigned to the genus, Billardiera by Cayzer, Crisp and Telford in 2004.

[11] Billardiera heterophylla is native to the Avon and Eyre districts of southwest Western Australia, where it occurs in open eucalypt forest and woodland and as well as coastal heathland and near salt lakes inland.

[11] B. heteropylla is a popular, widely cultivated garden plant, and has been sold within Australia and internationally for at least 100 years, with seeds being available in Jamaica as early as 1887.
