Native Hibiscus

Alyogyne hakeifolia

Description

Meet our gorgeous native hibiscus! This fabulous plant is originally from south east Western Australia and South Australia, and comes in stunning yellow, pink, and mauve colours. If you want to bring it into your home, make sure it's happy with well-drained soils, plenty of sunshine, and temperatures between cool and warm - perfect for temperate and Mediterranean climates! Just be careful not to overwater, as it's a desert dweller at heart. It loves a spot in full sun, but can handle mild frost too. The real showstopper? Its gorgeous tulip-shaped flowers that bloom from summer to autumn!
