Hibiscus heterophyllus, commonly known as Native Rosella, is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to the coastal rainforests and sclerophyll forests of Eastern Australia, particularly in New South Wales and Queensland. It typically grows to a height of 2-5 meters with a similar spread, and has a bushy, open habit. The leaves are variable in shape, with some being deeply lobed. The flowers are large and showy, ranging from white to pale pink or yellow, each with a striking dark red center, blooming from spring to early summer.

Native Rosella is valued for its horticultural appeal, particularly its vibrant flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. It is used in cultivation for ornamental purposes in gardens and parks, often as a feature plant or in mixed shrub borders. It thrives in full sun to part shade and requires well-drained soils, though it can tolerate a range of soil types. While it prefers regular watering, it is somewhat drought-tolerant once established. There are no major disease problems, but it can be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
