Description
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 'Full Moon' is a striking evergreen shrub renowned for its large, double-petalled, bright yellow flowers with a white centre. The lush, glossy green foliage provides a vibrant backdrop to the blooms, making it an excellent choice for adding a tropical flair to Perth gardens. This cultivar typically reaches a height and width of 2–2.5 metres, making it suitable for garden beds, borders, informal hedges, or as a specimen plant in pots and containers.
To thrive in Perth's climate, plant 'Full Moon' in a location that receives full sun to part shade, ensuring the soil is well-drained. Regular watering is essential, especially during the warmer months, to maintain consistent soil moisture. Applying mulch around the base of the plant helps regulate soil temperature and retain moisture. Prune after the flowering season to maintain shape and encourage vigorous growth. Feeding with a complete slow-release fertiliser in early spring will support healthy development and prolific flowering.
