You’ll love the large, luminous, lavender-blue blooms of Blue Hibiscus, a stunning shrub that flowers continuously in mild climates and is perfectly suited for the California garden. Fast-growing, drought-tolerant, and heat-loving, it requires minimal maintenance, making it the perfect choice for both novice and seasoned gardeners alike.
Blue Hibiscus is a wonderful addition to coastal gardens or waterwise landscapes, and is pollinator-friendly. Its glossy, violet petals form funnel-shaped flowers that bloom profusely in spring and throughout the year attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Plant Alyogyne huegelli as a standalone focal point or vibrant backdrop to add a pop of color and height to garden beds. Its fast growth and heat tolerance make it ideal for creating informal hedges or privacy screens along driveways or streets. With judicious pruning, you can shape Blue Hibiscus into a beautiful, shorter, fuller shrub for a more refined look near entryways or in containers.
Native to Australia, Alyogyne huegelli is a shrub with deeply lobed, rough-textured, dark green leaves. This fantastic, flowering shrub can grow up to 10 ft. tall if left unpruned, but can be more compact and lush with pruning. Evergreen in USDA zones 9-11 and winter hardy to 30°F. Unlike the tropical hibiscus, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, this Blue Hibiscus is waterwise and low-maintenance.
Adorned with large, radiant lavender-blue blooms, Alyogyne huegelli epitomizes easy-care elegance, flourishing continuously and thriving effortlessly in mild climates. Order yours today and discover the enchanting allure of Blue Hibiscus.
How big does Blue Hibiscus grow?
It usually grows 4 to 8 feet tall and about as wide, forming a soft, open shrub with gray-green leaves and a natural, airy habit.
What kind of light and soil does it prefer?
Full sun is essential for abundant blooms. It thrives in well-drained, sandy or rocky soil and absolutely detests heavy or soggy ground.
When does it bloom and what do the flowers look like?
It blooms nearly year-round in mild climates, peaking in spring and summer. The flowers are large, five-petaled, and a luminous violet-blue with a darker center each bloom lasting just a day or two, but replaced constantly.
Does it need pruning or special care?
Light pruning after major bloom cycles encourages new growth and more flowers. Avoid cutting into old wood, as it doesn’t resprout well.
