Description

Alyogyne hakeifolia 'Melissa Anne', commonly known as Native Hibiscus, is an evergreen shrub native to Western Australia. This fast-growing plant reaches a height and width of approximately 2 to 2.5 meters, making it suitable for screening and informal hedging. It features needle-like, dark green foliage that provides a fine-textured backdrop for its large, tulip-shaped flowers. The blooms are a delicate pink with deep red centres and appear predominantly during the warmer months, attracting nectar-feeding birds and insects. ?

For optimal growth in Perth's climate, 'Melissa Anne' prefers a position in full sun to part shade and thrives in well-drained soils. It exhibits drought tolerance once established and can withstand light frosts. Pruning after the main flowering period encourages a dense habit and promotes new flowering growth. Applying a native, low-phosphorus fertiliser during the warmer months supports plant health; ensure watering after fertilising to prevent leaf or root burn.
