White Rose of Sharon Hibiscus

• Many choices of flower color and type; tree, shrub, hedge
• Adaptable and hardy with simple care
• Slow grower with statuesque maturity
 
In late summer, when few other shrubs are done blooming, Rose of Sharon is still fully covered by lovely flowers.

This temperate zone version of the tropical hibiscus delights with its green summer foliage and blossoms from mid to late summer to early fall.
 
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 generally pest resistant. Pruning in early spring of about one-third of the wood will enhance blossoming and growth.
