Rose of Sharon

Rose of Sharon (hibiscus syriacus) is another favorite of many for its easy, low-maintenance style and fast-growing nature.  Another reason people love me is that I bloom continuously from mid-summer to fall!  Not many plants can boast that!

I have a shallow root system which makes me good for use near wells or septic tanks and home foundations. My height (8 – 12 ft) makes me useful for a beautiful privacy screen as well!  Plus, butterflies and hummingbirds absolutely love me!  Be sure to plant me where you can enjoy seeing the pollinators I attract.

Plant me in an area with full sun in the morning with dappled afternoon shade from the hot sun.  Other than that, I’m very fuss-free!

Note: Ours were mixed seedlings that we grew up from tiny babies so we do not know what color they are! Colors tend to be blue, red, purple/pink, or white, but all are beautiful!  Our Rose of Sharon is also several years old and very ready to be in the ground.  (We’re a little cranky in these pots, ya know!)
