Alyogyne huegelii

13 years ago

A native of Western Australia. Related, I think, to hibiscus although unlike hibiscus, it is much less prone to insect attack.

The first is Alyogyne huegelii, commonly known as Blue Hibiscus. It's in the Malvaceae family, the same group as the common tropical hibiscus.

Hello Audrey. The Alyogyne huegelii seeds germinate easily and need no pretreatment. The Telosma cordata seeds should be germinated in a damp paper towel...germination can take from four to six months. I'm not sure about the others but I've never had any luck germinating the Canaga odorata seeds..as with any other seed, I'm sure the fresher the seed, the better the germination success. Good luck! :) Leona

Hello Bill, I remember you. The whole site is pretty quiet these days but I still look in occasionally. Hope you and your garden are still doing well. Lovely photo and plant.

Yes it is Inga, the label says it grows to 2 to 3 metres by 1 to 1.5 wide. I'll see if I can keep it smaller than that by careful (experimental) pruning. It's also called 'west Coast Gem'. I spotted it at my favourite natives nursery just south of Brisbane: I visit there (an hour's drive) once or twice a year and leave with around $150 worth of plants - a good reason to avoid going too often.
