A Message from the President of the Australian Hibiscus Society (2013 – 2021)
As President of the Australian Hibiscus Society, it is my pleasure to introduce Christopher and Hibiscus World.

testament to their dedication and skill. Whether through their magnificent display gardens, extensive plant varieties, or innovative digital presence, Christopher and Patricia continue to enrich the world of hibiscus culture for enthusiasts everywhere.
On behalf of the Australian Hibiscus Society, I warmly invite you to explore Hibiscus World and experience the beauty and joy these remarkable plants bring.
– Brian Cheers, President (2013 to 2021) Australian Hibiscus Society
Christopher and Patricia, the founders of Hibiscus World, have devoted over four decades to cultivating and sharing their passion for hibiscus. Christopher, a qualified horticulturist with a Diploma in Applied Science, began his journey in 1973 when he received his first hibiscus plant as a housewarming gift. This sparked a lifelong love for the Queen of Tropical Flowers. Together, the couple established their first nursery in Victoria, Australia, focusing on hibiscus for retail and wholesale markets.
In 1985, a visit to Tropical Queensland transformed their journey. Inspired by the perfect climate for growing hibiscus, Christopher and Patricia relocated to the Sunshine Coast, where Hibiscus World was born. With one of Australia’s largest collections of hibiscus varieties, their stunning display gardens offer visitors a chance to explore rows of named cultivars in vibrant colours.
Renowned for their expertise, Christopher and Patricia have built a reputation that extends internationally. They contribute to horticultural publications, local garden clubs, and online platforms. They have embraced the digital age to connect with hibiscus enthusiasts worldwide, sharing the beauty and joy of their remarkable plants.
Their mission is clear at Hibiscus World: to deliver the highest-quality hibiscus plants, supported by expert care and service, ensuring every gardener experiences the magic of these extraordinary flowers.
