Hibiscus

Hibiscus
and Malvaviscus

Some key sites of interest to Queenslanders are:

Hibiscus at Purdie's, based in Brisbane. Check out the calender of Hibiscus care (under Culture)

In addition to the information these sites contain, you'll find plenty of links to more hibiscus sites from around the world. There are also assorted links at the bottom of this page.

Many local clubs and societies list upcoming events in the Events Diary, so why not see what's on in your area?

Did you know that Bunga raya, the five-petaled Hibiscus, is the national flower of Malaysia? (see: ASEAN National Flowers Association of Southeast Asian Nations)

Malvaviscus is a relative with flowers like a partly-opened hibiscus. Old-fashioned Malvaviscus arboreus is easy and fast to grow. Could be used for informal screening in a large garden, but may be difficult to find in garden centres.
