Hibiscus heterophyllus "Lutea" NATIVE

Full sun

Height:  3-4 m

Large yellow flowers

Notes from the plant tag:

Shrub with open growth the approx. 3-4 m tall, bearing beautiful, large yellow flowers in spring and summer.

ASPECT:  Hibiscus thrive in open positions in full sun and warm climates.  Protect from frosts.  In cooler areas plant by a north facing wall or fence which will retain heat.

SOILS:  Compost enriched, free draining light soil is preferred.  Improve poor drainage by adding gypsum and organic matter.  Mounding the soil also assists drainage.  Slightly acid pH of 6.2 is best.

FOR BEST RESULTS:  Water well until established.  Hibiscus are hardy in dry areas but thrive when given adequate summer moisture.  Maintain a thick mulch of organic matter and/or manure.  Fertilise lightly and often October to June with complete food high in potash to produce a mass of blooms.  Prune back by around one third in early spring to encourage bushy growth.
