Blue Hibiscus

Alyogyne huegelii grows best in well-drained soil, in full sun, and with protection from strong winds.

Water deeply and frequently during the first few weeks to develop a good root system. Reduce frequency once established. Mildly drought-tolerant and waterwise when well-rooted, Blue Hibiscus requires little watering but looks best with some extra water during extremely dry conditions. Apply a thick layer of organic mulch to help cool the soil and conserve moisture.

Blue Hibiscus can get a “big leggy” if left unpruned and the foliage on the lower branches is sparse. If this wild look doesn’t suit your landscaping needs, cut back hard in late spring, after the flush of flowers. For a dense, mounding shrub, prune twice a year or more. New shoots emerge from older wood, and pruning promotes the growth of a full, lush bush while also increasing flower production. The fast growth of Alyogyne also makes it well-suited to creating an espalier.

Like all members of the Malvaceae family, the flowers of the Blue Hibiscus open in the morning and last one day. Luckily, this shrub is extremely floriferous and can produce hundreds of blooms per season.
