{"product_id":"alyogyne-west-coast-gem","title":"Alyogyne West Coast Gem","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlso known as the Native Hibiscus, Alyogyne West Coast Gem is a fast-growing and beautifully resilient Australian native, celebrated for its silky, deep-blue blooms that appear for most of the year. With its main flowering flush from spring through autumn, this stunning shrub brings long-lasting colour and texture to any garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNaturally, Alyogyne can grow into an open, slightly sprawling shape, but with a little formative pruning when young, it develops into a dense, compact, and highly ornamental shrub. Its rich evergreen foliage and continual display of vivid flowers make it perfect as a feature plant, in mixed native beds, or as a striking potted specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlyogyne grows best in a sunny position, though it will tolerate part shade and still flower well. Plant it in well-drained soil, or use a quality native potting mix if growing in containers. Water regularly while the shrub is establishing, but once mature it becomes pleasantly low-maintenance, showing strong drought tolerance and coping well with light frost. Light formative pruning while the plant is young will help create a dense, rounded shape, and occasional tip pruning after flowering keeps it tidy and encourages fresh growth. For best results, feed in spring and early autumn with a low-phosphorus native fertiliser to support healthy foliage and continuous blooming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Express Australia","offers":[{"title":"50mm Pot","offer_id":53828180082872,"sku":"LPOALYWCG","price":7.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"68mm Pot","offer_id":53828180115640,"sku":"P68ALYWCG","price":7.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/alyogyne-lpoalywcg-west-coast-gem-pplalywcg.jpg?v=1785380885","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/alyogyne-west-coast-gem","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
