Alyogyne heugelii ‘Santa Cruz’

Alyogyne huegelii is a shrub in the Hibiscus Family (Malvaceae) native to Western Australia and South Australia. It is sometimes referred to as “blue hibiscus”, but its flowers are never really blue - just a little on the blue side of purple. If left alone, it will grow to be about 7 feet tall (2 m), but it looks best if it is tip-pruned frequently so it stays lower and bushier. It flowers over a long period from spring (or even late winter) through to fall. The cultivar ‘Santa Cruz’ is an introduction by the Arboretum at the University of California Santa Cruz.
