Title: australian hibiscus?
Post by: johnnybigfish on March 27, 2010, 09:50:06 pm

Hey you guys!
I just bought 3 plants called australian hibiscus..They have purple/violet flowers that look just like hibiscus but they come back every year..The flowers last about 2 days but the plant blooms spring thru summer. Does anybody know of this plant and is it a plant that bees like?
your friend,
john

I know the plant. I have seem some bees on it, but I have never seen it covered with them but that may just be that there is alot of competition with many other plants for the bees.
