Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

AAlyogyne huegelii 'West Coast Gem', commonly known as Native Hibiscus, is an evergreen shrub native to Western Australia. This fast-growing plant typically reaches a height and width of 2 to 2.5 meters, making it suitable for use as a feature plant, informal hedge, or screening shrub. It is renowned for its abundant, large, funnel-shaped, deep purple flowers that bloom profusely from spring through autumn, with the main flush occurring during the warmer months. The finely divided, mid- to bright green foliage provides an attractive backdrop to the vibrant blooms.

For optimal growth in Perth's climate, 'West Coast Gem' thrives in full sun to part shade positions and prefers well-drained soils, including sandy or loamy types. Once established, it exhibits good drought tolerance and can withstand light frosts. To maintain a dense and healthy form, it is advisable to prune the shrub after the main flowering period, encouraging new growth and further flowering. Applying a native plant fertiliser during the growing season will support vigorous development.
