I was so excited when this large delicate flower appeared on this Hibiscus Aussie Pink. Sadly, it only lasted for a day. When fully opened the flower was approximately 100 mm (4 inches) in diameter. This is a very hardy, fast growing native, attaining height and spread of approximatley 2 metres at maturity. Once established, it will tolerate frosts and dry periods. Mine is in semi-shade for most of the morning and gets the western sun in the afternoon. I'm looking forward to the other buds opening. This time I will smell the flowers as Hibiscus Aussie Pink is a fragrant variety.
