Native hibiscus: Alyogyne

14 years ago

The name shown in the subject of this post is the only ID on the label that came with this plant. Unlike my other native hibiscus, the leaves on this one are soft/furry and do not have any prickles. The flowers last only a day and are unscented, but the plant--flowers and leaves--are pretty.

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.
