Hibiscus syriacus, commonly known as Rose of Sharon, is an upright flowering shrub prized for its large, tropical-looking blooms that appear from summer into fall. Available in shades of white, pink, lavender, purple, blue, and bi-colors, it provides late-season color and attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. It makes an excellent choice for hedges, screens, specimen plantings, and cottage gardens.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage flowering
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and blooms
