Hibiscus insularis Philip Island Hibiscus
Take a look at this little beauty! And what an amazing story it has! This critically endangered Australian Native Hibiscus has a permanent home at Mother Earth. We grow a few plants each year doing our part to help preserve this amazing native plant.It is very rarely offered in nurseries. But is just as easy to grow as other hibiscus. And it makes the most amazing hedge! It has very small leaves and small flowers which add to its density and hedging appeal. But it also makes the most fantastic pot specimen with its little leaves and flowers giving a perfectly balanced plant. The flowers start green and burgundy, and change to pink as they age. And it flowers profusely from October to May! Why not plant one today and help conserve this beautiful Hibiscus? Pop in to the nursery and get yours.
Some interesting history on this little beauty. Due to overgrazing and feral pest animals , the population was down to only 8 plants in 1963! And in 2003 with conservation efforts the population had increased to approx only 50 plants and was stretched over only a 10 x 50m patch on the island! Today the population is still slowly recovering! It is suspected the bird species that did pollinate these hibiscus is now extinct.
We have beautiful plants occasionally offered in 140mm and 200mm pot sizes. Want a great fertiliser for this hibiscus? Try our Garden Delight Rock Mineral.
