Heterophyllus or 'Native Hibiscus' are a medium sized shrub growing to 2m. (but up to 5m in some conditions) Heterophyllus are fast growing and with attractive white, pink or yellow flowers make a useful garden plant. A humus rich moist soil is best and heterophyllus do need some protection from frost.
Heterophyllus can be cut back by 1/3 after flowering to promote a more bushy habit. Heterophllus Lutea is the yellow form. Flowers only last a few days, however new flowers will appear over a month or two.
