Rose of Sharon

Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) is a late-season flowering shrub that produces large, tropical-looking blooms in shades of pink, purple, blue, and white. Blooming from mid-summer into fall, it provides color when many other shrubs have finished.

Thriving in full sun, it is drought tolerant, low maintenance, and highly pollinator-friendly, attracting bees and hummingbirds.

Maintenance Tip:
Prune in late winter or early spring to shape and encourage strong flowering. Remove unwanted seedlings if necessary, and fertilize in spring for best performance.
