WANTED: Hibiscus splendens

Posted by greenfrog VIC Australia (My Page) on

I love growing various Hibiscus and I've been trying to find this one for several years now with no luck. Considering that it is an Australian native it seems ridiculously hard to obtain. So, I was wondering if anyone has seed or cuttings they would be prepared to share? Or if you could point me in the right direction as to where I might be able to find it, that would be good too.
Thanks.
Daniel

Hi Daniel, I had a native Hibiscus in Townsville. I got it from Bunnings nursery. It had a smaller yellow trumpet flower and was quite pretty. I also got seeds at one stage from EBay. You could try there.
Cheers, Val

I know various members in our plant group grow it. Have you tried Kuranga Native Nursery in Mt Evelyn..........they are sure to have it, or get it in for you. Failing that, you could join an APS group near you, and probably get cuttings that way from members. Most monthly meetings involve plant sales, or opportunity to get cuttings of interesting stuff. See the link to find a local group in Victoria.

Here is a link that might be useful: Australian Plants Society Vic.
