•Bright pink flowers all summer long
•Adaptable and hardy with simple care
•Slow grower with statuesque maturity
In late summer, when few other shrubs are blooming, Rose of Sharon is still fully covered by lovely flowers. The only trouble you will have is choosing among its many colors and blossom varieties!
This temperate zone version of the tropical hibiscus delights with its green summer foliage and single or double blossoms from mid to late summer to early fall.
The pink blossom on this tall and hardy shrub can add romance to your garden. The center is a deeper pink with white stamen and pistils standing in it, providing contrast in texture and color. The blossom is not fragrant but attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds!
Open, loose branches suit Rose of Sharon to formal and informal plantings. It can be a tall hedge to help provide privacy or highlighted as a tree or shrub, where it is a nice conversation piece and setting for garden parties.
The plant is pest resistant and requires little maintenance once planted. Pruning in early spring of about one-third of the wood will enhance blossoming and growth.
Show off in your neighborhood with this beauty of many colors!
