Alyogynne Heuglii, Native Hibiscus

Alyogyne huegelii, commonly known as Native Hibiscus or Lilac Hibiscus, is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub native to Western Australia. It typically reaches 2-3 meters in height with an equal spread. The plant is known for its beautiful hibiscus-like flowers, ranging from lavender-blue to deep purple, appearing mainly in spring and summer, though blooms can continue throughout the year in warmer climates.

To grow Alyogyne huegelii, plant it in a sunny position with well-drained soil, as it is drought-tolerant once established. It thrives in Mediterranean climates but can tolerate light frost and performs well in coastal gardens. Regular pruning after flowering encourages bushier growth and promotes more blooms. Alyogyne benefits from occasional deep watering during extended dry periods.

Companion plants for Alyogyne huegelii include other Australian natives like Westringia, Grevillea, and Correa. These shrubs complement its floral display and share similar soil and water requirements. Groundcovers such as Kennedia prostrata or Scaevola aemula can enhance the garden's texture and provide a contrasting base for the upright form of Alyogyne.
