I am Native Hibiscus. My family originated from South Western Australia

Botanic Name: Alyogyne huegelii ‘ALY19002’

**Shrub/Herb – Bird attracting**
I am a medium sized fast growing rounded native shrub usually producing a profusion spectacular deep purple silken-petaled flowers. My flowering is more prolific from early spring to late autumn and I will flower all year in the right conditions! I am smaller growing and more compact than ‘West Coast Gem’ and many other native hibiscuses. I have good form unpruned but respond well to regular pruning and make a great colourful native hedge. I am dry tolerant once established but will perform at my best when provided with regular moisture. I will benefit from a an annual application of a quality native slow release fertiliser. I do best in full sun but am tolerant of a range of soils provided they are well drained. My flowers attract bees and beneficial insects. My Flowers are edible, a great way to add colour when garnishing a salad.
