Hibiscus Aussie Delight:

AU: A new breed of Aussie hibiscus

There are quite a few different native hibiscus around Australia that are making their way into our gardens. Every State has its own species and Australian plant breeders are working on crossing different species to develop some beautiful hybrids.

Hibiscus Aussie Delight is a very hardy, fast-growing native shrub with perfumed light-pink flowers to 12cm from late winter through to summer.

The flowers contrast well with the attractive glossy-green foliage and red-brown stems.

Aussie Delight is the result of several generations of careful cross-breeding and selection based on the Australian native species, Hibiscus heterophyllus and Hibiscus divaricatus, to produce a compact bushy plant with few prickles and an extended flowering period. This hibiscus makes a great feature shrub for open exposed sites or as an understorey plant in part shade.

Aussie Delight will grow in most soil types and doesn’t appear fussy at all about soil type.
